Poem Title:
Poem
safe in the fortress of my heart i looked out on the mysteries of my world reveled in the complex dance of lovers united in burning desires and passionate loves and then i heard a distant swansong heard a distant love affair promised behind such lovely phrases and alluring photographs but as the truth of it resolved itself in minds eye i could see it failing in the crisp moonlight i could see its painful ending that is as sure as a rising sun that it would leave me in a dire thirst a depleted soul please pull me away from this swansong this enticing tale for its sweetness clings to me its promised loveliness and beauty are only facade for such a dark and lonely place i will end up believing such a tale i will fall victim to such a beautiful thought and the swansong will be spread to yet another lover torn from the worlds complex dance of true beauty and love safe in the fortress of my heart this dire tale sweeps up against me trying to wear me down i call out that others should be aware i cry out that others should see this swansong so pretty and beguiling is such a dark thing i will hold out for the dawn i will stay true to my love and there i will breath easy a summer's day in there i will find loves true tale loves complex dance of passion and desire i will once again dance happy and free with all the other lovers wrapped in the warmth of our passions
