Lost Love
Lost Love
(A lone voice whispers)
Once lost
In love's asylum
Overcome by guilt
As I sat serving unseen emotional titans
In every second,
Sat in silence
Feeling numb and
Bristling with sweet thoughts of violence
Feeling time
Enjoying the rush
Like a blackbird crowing in the bush
A bell always rings
Breaking the spell running up and down my spine
Where memories of you sing
In seductive rhymes
When you were mine
Dressed in white
Wearing our favourite rings
It maybe a cut
Of a thousand deaths
This night
When I remember a real love
I once possessed
In night and day
But like frankincense and Myrrh
Which always flows and sways
To the secret codex linked
To the excesses of sex
And midnight conquests
When libido's pray to play
As I lay in this solitude
With this curse to be endured
And all that may follow
I look to the divine gift of Apollo
And write poetry of you
To rebuild
My inner hollow
As my pitiful sorrow
My soul
Delicately tries in vain
To
Swallow
