PostPoems Be Artistic. Be Creative. Be Inspired!

It all sums to nothing

scribe as you will

I will entertain this

until....



I feel it creeping on me

the light through the shadow

the heartbeat, it fades

and I need a fresh marrow



Can you carry me away,

sustain me, until....

I have all that I need

to ensure my idyll?

Can you guide me through the daylight

to the night's glare, until...

I see fit to replace

and another takes your place?



I lie here, shorn of lustre

touched by the chill

warm my skin with your words

until....



I meet with someone's fingers

across my supple frame

and if your heart gets cloven....

well, that same heart's to blame!



Won't you carry me away

sustain me until

I gain all that I need

from your transient thrill?

Can you walk me through the darkness?

kill the nightmares, until

I clasp another face

better-suited to my grace?



I'll christen you my shelter

my "much more than a friend"

but still, don't hold too tightly

you're just a fleeting trend

I'll let you ever closer

to salve my heart, to mend

but, as its texture softens,

know that it's yours I'll rend....



(....right at the bitter end.....)



Until the day of severance

I turn and say: "We're through!"

I'll be here, ever soothing

Until then, I love you....
