PostPoems Be Artistic. Be Creative. Be Inspired!

I'm damned forever to know

your initial reaction to me

was it swift

was it sweet yet shocking

did it represent any warm and wondrous feeling

waiting so patiently in thee

sophistication will never breath the aromatic

in which I breath

there will never be another unguarded moment

when I will seem to you so unbelievably free

so enjoy the tastiest tidbits

I much too carelessly allow from my wine soaked

lips to fall

I give you every last vestige of a deeply

personalized once in a life time viewing of the

most private me

in an empty, pretty basket over stuffed with such

great flaw

you can not know the cost to the soul to unlatch

old emotional anchors bogged down in cement

that once was only sand

I think I loved you that first time you looked

into me and said hello

yet I'll never repeat these words to you ever again

I was yours to do with what you will

from the moment my name became a favorite endearment

upon your lips

I'll love you always and miss you even more

even as with the futility of our interrupted

relationship

I try to come to grips

the word good bye cries bitterly within my

shuddering breast

as I watch you slowly absorb the painful shock

in which I've cruelly thrust upon you

please forgive me most of all

for this before unmentioned incredible flaw

I love much too much for most significant others

to take

having an unconditional lover is just too hard

for some people to relate

so, know that I wish you well in your endeavor

to find a more suitable love to your needs

you'll always be in my thoughts

but your deserved happiness

I will never allow it to further impede..........
