Notes About The Poem

If This Was My Last Poem

Come to me my beloved,
save me from life's brutalities,
so this heart can soften -
sparkle like a million fireflies.

For you hold the light
to illuminate my soul.
For you are the ceremony
and I the dance.
As you come near,
I'll spin like a mad man,
dancing in the rain.

If to touch you is a sin,
then I am a sinner,
yearning to sin till my last breath.

If to hold you, means to lose everything,
then I will live as a penniless man,
rich within the luxuries of your affection.

If to love you is a crime,
then I am a criminal,
lock me away and dispose of the key,
chain me within the chambers of your heart.

If this is my last poem,
then let these words become spirits,
sleeping within the sacred sanctuary 
of your supernal soul.

James Horn February 28, 2021 at 4:40 PM My goodness. This was written quite a while ago. Have you written any poems lately?

Freddie Robinson Jr. November 17, 2020 at 9:02 AM Such a passionate quill spill of overflowing love, SO! Delving into the vault of your vast poetic musings is a transcendent joy. The intense passion of your chaste vow everlasting is so beautiful to feel w/a virgin look-see. (If to hold you, means to lose everything, then I will live as a penniless man, rich within the luxuries of your affection.) This poem is so romantically haunting. Time and space, nor even death can pulse separate two soulmates. Love and more love always. Silent One November 17, 2020 at 1:30 PM Thank you.. I forget some of the poems i write sometimes, so when people comment, its a nice reminder..

Andrea Dietrich January 6, 2019 at 5:29 PM I really like how you did this theme. One of your best works, Silent One. I felt so silly when I clicked on the number one poems for your last contest and realized you did not specifically ask for one liners. Anyway. I do love the one liner contests!! I need to read directions better though. Silent One January 7, 2019 at 3:11 PM Don't worry, I don't think you were the only one.. Thanks..
