Poem Title:
Poem
and I could not look away I stared into the shadows of a lover’s distant past Heard whispers in the darkness of the spell her heart did cast As it raked across my feelings and I cried out in the night When this smile I was wearing fit a little bit too tight With her painted nails of crimson like the color of my blood She clawed at my emotions as the silhouettes did flood This morning found believing that our time is filled with fate Where I find my voice is screaming, please don’t tell me it’s too late She collected every promise on the worries I did call For she wanted me to know that I could never have it all Still I crawled into the silence with my eyes so open wide And together we were drowning in the motion of the tide In her arms now spun the seconds of the minutes I could spare Like a clock that’s steady ticking darkened rhythms sent to share Drinking thirsty from the fountain as her finger it did press On the chrome implanted wishes of an early moon confess For her smile was infectious as it hid her dirty deeds When I fell intoxicated still to stagger in these needs Tried to gaze off in the distance but my vision would not stay I was trapped in her seduction... and I could not look away Good night Soupers
