Shamed----By---The---Shore

SHAMED BY THE SHORE As a child I felt patently pure Jesus cleansed my unrighteous soul As an adult I’ve now become unsure Because life and love have taken their toll Admiration is colored red Joy is colored blue At least that’s what someone said And I say love is colored you One evening you and I sat near a Tiki torch I had a foreboding feeling that made me awesomely sad You remained too quiet as we sat on your porch Now that night will always remind me of what we once had And so upon that porch was a torch and a pair A pair that would soon be nevermore You disagreed when I deemed that unfair But your retort was “loving you is too much of a chore” Your woeful words were ones I was made to endure Because I had done so many things that were illegal You became a gull free to soar by the shore While you left me a bloody and flightless eagle © 2011.…Phreepoetree l
