Romanticide

Open your eyes so
I can find my way home.
When it's all said and done,
Guess I should have known.

But the poison tastes so sweet,
In the moment our eyes meet.
If my love for you's a sin,
Then I never want to win.

The flames return and severe,
The path I'll walk forever.
The voices call, "No farther."
Still I choose to be the martyr.

My dreams, they speak of you.
Do I haunt your dreams too?
If my love for you's a sin,
God will never let me in.

Chérie,

To forgive, or to forget?
If they are worth it than I would become the scapegoat.

There are many stars in the sky,
and many fish in the sea.

To move on, or to stay put?
Where does your heart lay,
other than at the feet of someones soiled boots?

I loved the beginning to this poem.
I like as is, but you can also add to it as well.
Those are always fun to play with. <3
Your work is becoming one of my favorites to read.
The Iron Rose is still #1 though to me. ^.-

Keep writing my dear.

Beautiful poem! Excellent write, but the last line could use a little more flair to match the intensity of the rest of the great work! HugSS


Don't let any one shake your dream stars from your eyes, lest your soul Come away with them! -SS

Bookcases

A beginning is the ending - bookcased notions seal the original focus--rhyming limits, but a last line to equal the poem is a real challenge, the poem is powerful and heart sent, love by any means necessary, even sin - richly wrought - Be well, Lady A
