Poem
As I Plot Just One More Day Desperate as the waking at blackest dawn I seek only moments within eternity, for the day upon me is long and I do not ponder its end Forever that blackened door beckoned in tones of promising delights who can know what lies in its beyond perhaps a cure for the world's pains I walk halls leading to its hurts echoes that resounded as if playing with no malice, future screams at my hesitation as I plot just one more day as I hide my lusts just one more day Decadent as the lust of gloomiest noon I am immersed in the consummation and overpowered in the contest, yet hopeful that still I may embrace eternity's devious charm Never ending cycles eat into a wanton soul they are all too familiar and their boredom becomes a chain a rasp in my dying breath I hear its rhythm and each echo speaks O' that parade of desires hides deep within as the dark expands its borders as I plot just one more day as I hide my lusts just one more day Dire as the languishing at darkening dusk I seek an eternity of moments to sate my lust and quell my rage, to forgive and to be forgiven A Robert Lindley and Lawrence Sharp collaboration 10-11-2018 Poetry Note- I am very pleased to have found a new and fantastic writing partner that presents fantastic free verse poetry in its top form. This our first collaboration was a true pleasure and great joy to create. We both found ourselves in tune, as we worked to present this dark free verse poetry, that depicts the darker side of this world, past wayward youthful experiences and a look at what even today our youth face in this unforgiving and to oft deceptive, corrupt and tempting world that rewards darkness, and giving in to wanton desires. The magnificent verses my writing partner contributed to the creation of this piece sincerely awe me- as I am learning of the depths, beauty, great and high artistic value in creating and reading free verse poetry, Both my thanks and my appreciation come from a sincere and very appreciative heart.
