Free Cee Too Often a Coffin

TOO OFTEN A COFFIN I’ve faced the familiarity of faded fascination I’ve let the loveliness of a lady become unspoken I’ve examined the exclamation mark of exhilaration And let beauty allow my blackened heart to be broken I have haunted harbors and arbors alike I’ve searched for the most perfect rose ever grown I’ve seen ships stranded by too many a dike And allowed lost loves to leave me alone I’ve cried in crevices of cruelty and brutality I’ve crawled through canyons so unkind I’ve negated the nature of negative neutrality With maudlin memories that mesmerize my mind I’ve faced the fading of infatuation And lamented the loss of love too often I’ve ignored the aroma of arduous ardor’s creation And have remembrances that will follow me into my coffin © 2013….copyright PHREEPOETREE.~free cee!~

I have often thought that your poem is very sad, deep and heavy because you put under the theme "angst", but after reading some of the past I have found many beautiful poems. - I like the way you write, and am glad I took the time to get to know your poems Jeffry. - oxox / / Anne-Lise :)
