My Love Is Like a Frankenstein

Unbearably, oh! So terribly-
Have I ruined my only chance?
But sing with me sad melodies;
Let us ponder while we dance
And find our reasons, somewhere cold-
Buried in all we fail to find
Lo, thy Heart; to have- to hold!
Never could I be that kind

To be so gentle, as not to break
For all my Love, a Monster makes!

*This is an old, slightly silly piece, and a weak one at that

Chan This is creative and crazy. Puts a smile on the readers face. HHHMMM I can't see you loving like a monster. Should I get two second opinions on that. LOL Hugs Thanks for the sweet comment on my To Write Or Not Write poem. And yes, you taught me a new word. LOL

I thought this was an interesting poem. Sometimes love can be gentle or destructive, just like Frankenstein's monster!...This poem isn't that bad, we all have poems that we are not proud of, nobody is perfect!...You might like my poem "Bride Of Frankenstein", it is kind of silly, too!...Thank you so much for the amazing comments!

I agree, Kelly; we all have pieces that are "hit or miss" and this one is more of a near miss. It was written many years ago and even though I did some re-editing, it didn't seem to help it much lol Thanks for dropping by and reviewing :)
