PostPoems Be Artistic. Be Creative. Be Inspired!

ah but for a lip less mouth
many a dragon has been sleighed
petted with  a proffered hand
that has been slapped away
innumerable times since
since humans first began to speak
and jumbled thoughts were organized
and writ haphazardly down
jewels have been smuggled and traded
hope has been dashed
dabbed with but the smeared ash of regret
and war was belabored
out of disjointed romantic conflict
barely yet to start
we save chipped cups
in such kingdoms of the heart
for there are no affordable keys
to desire's office
just big creaky doors
clattering to and fro
between beings who know
so very little about their own
'Instruments Of Love'
but still they attempt
to master the tune of
another
offering each other
little more than
beat less hearts
perhaps.............
