Poem Title:
Poem
I'm not writing another All the words have since been said Besides, it's dark and it's cosy As I lie alone in bed I'll magic up a subject.. Let the words just tumble out Be proactively cathartic A poetic layabout Not intentionally lazy Let me just be clear I know you read my title So, while I've got you here.. Not another soliloquy No balcony or lyre But love is still our destiny The rest place for desire As humans we are wired Chasing all that burns within I hope to keep you reading Don't just drop me in the bin Love is more than just ethereal, Elusive and aloof We need to take a journey And I'll offer you some proof.. So jump right in and join me Or paddle round the edge My words will gently lull you I'll be honest; is my pledge Close your eyes just for a second Take a breath and drift away.. Let the troubles of the world subside Leave the worries of your day Find that quiet space within you Like the centre of a storm There's a chair with your name on it And a blanket, so you're warm As we all do this together Feel the lesson that we learn There's a love so deep within us That we do not have to earn We can give and take, it's easy Cheap transactions see us through Yet, internal love more precious This is heaven's gift to you As the debris swirls and clatters Feel the wind across your face At the centre of existence Love reserves for you a place. So, I'm done. The worst is over. You've endured my 'nonsense' rhyme But just sit a while here with me Our only enemy is time Let's secure these precious moments That equip us for the test Let that purest love within you Be the well-spring for the rest Jinjagoliath 18th November 2023
