Don'T

Don't relinquish the grain of perfection that nurtured in the oyster mouth evolves the priceless pearl. Don't surrender the shot at redemption held in religious embodiment of the love devoted girl. Don't spurn away the crucial future for a past beyond compare that fades 'till black and dead. Don't jettison the pleasure the ardent swell of angel wings which soar within the bed. Don't grasp the failing wreckage of things that breathe no more and beg to be at rest. Don't hold to duty's empty depths, vain denial of the heart beat in the longing breast. Don't scorn this absolution which in joyous warmth may drag you from the cold and numb abyss. Don't sacrifice her, for she is yours forever in each breath, each smile, each everlasting kiss...
