Now Have Some Cheesecake

.

Take this, this poem
with torn, tattered edges
Stuff it in pockets
of jeans faded blue
Tell all the people 
who teeter on ledges 
Nothing is worse
if you have not a clue

Shatter this pen
flowing ink made of fire
Charring the castles
where dragon wings fly
Fanning the flames
that a sad heart has started
When every stanza
now ends in goodbye 

Fracture the vase
that once sat in the window
Emerald green 
with a chardonnay shine
Toss me the shards
till you see I am bleeding
Now have some cheesecake,
a nice glass of wine 

Bury these dreams
so they fade in the morning 
Hidden from sunlight
and coated in dew
Roll out the leaves
in the cover of autumn
Springtime for me
is now long overdue

The power of the written word and creativity. Even in it's most bittersweet moments it has the power to overturn hopelessness.

Cool romanticism, Chris. Drop the mike ending. Classic. You sure a one poet savant, my friend. A lady would be thrilled to catch your eye. Love the poem though. Peace and love to you. RW
