A Poem For My Love

I don't want your black sunshine
Your golden locks waving in the cosmic abyss
I don't want your silver lips touching mine
The rays of glory beholding their splendor
Instead I want your love
And I want it in a bitter cup
That only I could drink

"a bitter cup That only I could drink" is a beautiful parallel to the bittersweet possessiveness of love. Great write, Cheno.

Hello Cheno Achima, you spoke what was on your mind, so the person knows what you want. Have a nice day my friend.
