She Knows Me

Tall trees and winter’s dismay Empty hearts and cattle calls Trusting no one save you and Scattered love on forgotten walls I love the way her lips Curl when she tells a lie A secret agreement between lovers I promise and she cries I think I do I know she does Killer’s eyes greet the morning Lusty moans and sweaty brows The thin line threatens to break It’s far too late now Rapture unforgiving as the night Jumbled in a mixture of cement and love The city is unforgiving Love is as lust does I know it now But dare not speak This is bigger than me Cataclysms and tumbling virtue A heartless fool I would be If this lie is true She has me now What can I do?

You are a gifted painter of words and although I've never commented I have you saved as one of my favorites. I appreciate your talent.

Wow. So much here. Love the line "Love is as lust does". A complicated write (to this reader) that sends my imagination soaring. Love your poetry. Love, Shar
