Reciprocal Love

Our Foundation is Weak

Meaning What we build won't last long

No vibration to our beats

Meaning no base in our song

 

Your cries are out my reach

You have moved on - this i see

So I amplify my speech

And pull you closer to me

 

In front of all my friends

I stand at the podium and preach

Giving Lessons on love,

The hypocrisy reeks as i teach

The odor of failure

the taste of deceit

And the relief no one notices, what we used to be

 

But I digress, I change the genre, she plays along

Seemingly knowing, that we, once again, belong

Together, Forever, Lifelong

 

I rest in her arms

She rocks me to sleep

I'll follow her wherever

She's the shepherd, I'm the sheep

 

My former outlook on life

May have been a little bleak

She didn't share her time with me

My love had been cheap

But now I invest in you, and you in me

Our love is reciprocal

I gues that's why they say

You sow what you reap

Never a truer saying "you sow what you reap". Your poem depicts your mutual love for each other very well.

Enjoyed the read.

I really am drawn

to this idea, the choice of verse, for all that can encumber love, true to form in a manner that comes to light with just the right amount of metaphoric essence.

Peace
