.
I should have known
Right from the start,
But I guess I did
Deep down.
. Denial’s a strong
. Morphine.
Our love had grown
So far apart,
It fell off the grid
Sans sound.
. Silence is the wrong
. Demean.
I don’t bemoan
Your faithless heart,
When my heart I hid
Facedown.
. Innocence’s a long
. Routine.
And now alone
Wisdom imparts,
Like a little kid’s
Smack-down.
. Solitude’s a throng
. Unseen.
.
I fluttered about you
Like a butterfly,
Flitting to and fro
Tirelessly.
With the flick of a wrist
You brushed me away,
Like a common pest,
Absently.
Years later you approached
Propositioning
And complimenting
Sincerely.
I chanced and took the bait
Gave my heart and soul
Completely.
Now I flutter no more
And flitter far less
Begging for release
Profusely.
There’s a pin through my back
As now I’m encased,
A treasure of yours,
Securely.
.
nature nurtures love
man manipulates all hope
seeking his true faith
kismet is the kiss of life
and life is the kiss if death
Push comes to shove,
Loosing battle on both ends.
Easy way out
And you say we’ll still be friends.
Standing my ground
Even though our doom impends.
Swallow my pride,
There is much we need to say.
Apologies
Yield your kiss for one more day.
.
Betrayer of my heart
Let the night keep you warm
Yesterday you ran free
Best to do no more harm
So turn around and leave
You are welcome no more
Can’t sow your treachery
An inch inside this door
.
On this cold night
We light a dormant fire
And fan the flames
Within our hungry hearts
Steadily prod embers
On this cold night
So they may glow anew
With burning love
Relish the heat
Of passion’s new lit fire
On this cold night
Wrapped in each other’s arms
Wanton, fervid lover’s
Impassioned blaze
Burns most resplendently
On this cold night
Momentary Lapse Of Sanity
