Tell Me

You cannot tell me that you love me While your arms speak elasticity’s whisper Upon another You cannot tell me that you need me When your greatest dependency Rests on cracked, concave mirrors Don’t tell me That you miss our pendulums Swaying unto volcanic lust That our lava laced finger strokes Will mean a call from you tomorrow Tell me your vendetta’s lie Wasn’t meant to scar these ventricles Yearning for my accent To devour You Whole Whole Hold our winds towards creative differences, Telling me how we are the same How we are One One in a million of delectable fibs Your textured lips annunciate a mineral silence, Louder than love Oh, how I heard you clearly through foggy facades. For I am an unspoken error, Awaiting You Lie, Returned ©Drake J. Eszes

What a brilliant piece...the word facade enchants me for no reason and "foggy facades" is lovelier still. There can be nothing more romantic than revenge..lol. Thank you for your comments on my poems, highly appreciated!! Love Varsha.

OUCH. Lovely and yet so sharp. Yes, love is very loud... Hugs to you, wordsmith ;-) ((PS, if I write one soon with the language of chess, then you'd have inspired it with this "next move is yours" mind-piece))

amazing poetry Drake, the emotions are really set in motion here, as are the many aspect that runs through one's mind when reading, i feel almost as though one could be even talking to one's self, i know i've been there so often... again poetry does not get much better than this...

Poet Tacito
Date: 5/27/2013 6:29:00 AM

Hey Harry!! That is a good point of this being almost a battle of self. Very thought provoking perspective there. Thank you very kindly for your thoughts on this!

there's an energy to this piece that makes me want to go slay what trust is not about, drake... that's what is edgy about this work; it's exploration of opposing themes...darn fine write!..:) huggs

Yes, I felt a similar tone as I wrote this. It is all about the exploration, yes. Thank you so very much, Nette.

I have observed that many couples seem to thrive on love/hate/respect/disrespectful relationships.....there are so many passions involved, that perhaps life for them would be too dull and humdrum without such conflict. I was told once years ago, that my husband and I looked like our relationship was too dull to be passionate. However it has stood the test of time. What a excellent poem of the emotional roller-coaster of so many "so called" love stories! Great poem!!

Poet Tacito
Date: 5/24/2013 1:21:00 PM

Hi Carrie!!! Yes, as have I. A close member of my family was in one of those marriages. They are now divorced. The test of time, I deeply respect that. Thank you so much for taking the time to come by here. :)

OH!!!! Drake, this one really touched me! So beautiful and sad and yet....the emotions so vivid and real! Wow! Delectable fibs..are fibs none the less... :( They taste makes us forget sometimes that we need to resurface to reality. This was an amazing piece. I want to thank you, Drake, for all your visits and comments. They are deep and thought provoking and above all...kind. I delight in them. Thank you!

Hey there, Eileen! :) A fib is a fib, no matter what good oil it's cooked in. It's my pleasure to visit your work and to speak from the heart. Your lines trigger that within me. So, I have to return the favor. :) I'm pleased you stopped by. Thank you so much.

Love is that way isn t it?There is that kind of stable daily routine love Or the.deceiving passionate love hate relationship.It sounds like someone playing with emotions..Hanging on a string but still holding on..Do i get it?a huge imbalance in the pendulum leading to heartaxhe..but who can understand other than who have tasted the sweetness and sourness of it all .Very sad yet beautiful

Poet Tacito
Date: 5/24/2013 10:14:00 AM

Also, "love" isn't love when it's like this. It's insignificant. :) It should be much simpler than this.

Poet Tacito
Date: 5/24/2013 10:12:00 AM

Hi, Charmaine!!! :) Yup, you pretty much got it. It's essentially a heart facing a conundrum and the stanzas capture that moment when they're about to cut the cord. Will the heart stop beating? Or will it be self-powered enough to beat forward? Thank you for stopping by, as always. :)
