PostPoems Be Artistic. Be Creative. Be Inspired!

phantom blush

so red upon the quite

uncourageous heart

leave me now

as my pitiful peril

need never be any further

exploited

such bitter discord

amongst the dubious ranks

of requite

only squanders

what few choices

I honestly can admit I sill possess

that for which isn't deeply returned

in such vast craters of doubtless

misinterpretation

sadly never was

behold such clearly

squelched flame

and yet

its the living with such

undesired knowledge

that best teaches even the

most cowardly of hearts

to chance the wall

and to brave the next awaiting

fields of promise again

as its in the heart naturally

to fight for love

whether one truly believes in it

or not..............
