Tony Bush Poet Verse

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...
