Midnight Aurora Poet Rhyme

60 Seconds

60 Seconds


Gruelling nights with haunted dreams
Explosions tearing at my seams
The worst, last night; I couldn’t sleep
My expendability made me weep.

With dawn awoke a brand new day
A deathly mare in my mind lay
And there it lay until at last
60 seconds had oddly past.

60 seconds not thinking of you
Acidic eruptions did not spew
From the pit of my stomach to expel my heart
First waking moments not torn apart.

The realization made me smile
I pondered it for a while
The first 60 seconds that you weren’t there
The first 60 seconds I did not care.

No thoughts of kisses on my lips
Or intertwining fingertips
No mocking jokes to make me giggle
Or cheeky moves to make me wiggle

60 seconds without your eyes
60 seconds without your lies
For 60 seconds my heart was mine
For 60 seconds I did just fine.

Sadness, still it lurks within
But I shan’t touch a drop of gin
Those seconds showed me I shall win
Now the healing can begin…

Freddie Robinson Jr. December 8, 2019 at 7:33 AM A very riveting poem, Midnight A! LOVE the title too. Gritty truth cleanses the soul. The ink honesty is evident in this café noir poetry: The blackness of the muse brew reveals the clarity of hidden truth. An amazingly awesome poem! It goes in the fave file for sure. Love and smiles and smiles of joy forever. RomWar

Chris Green November 20, 2019 at 3:52 PM I just had to come and read the last one I hadn't read while waiting for something new to appear. I was not disappointed, which I already knew would be the case. This was fantastic, just that thought...60 seconds of not thinking about you, that is so cool. Really nice MA.
