The Perfect Act

'Cause all who wonder are not lost Through the warmth and through the frost.. I wanna be trapped with sweet relief Trapped with a million belief.. 'Cause remind me this once more All that glitters is not gold.. I am no saint, I am not pure Look into my eyes, it's just an allure.. So love me till all these last Stop the future and forget the past.. Love me like winter, feel me like spring When the rain starts to pour, give me your wings The autumn will come and go, revealing me to you Shedding my guard and ringing me true.. At summer we'll take the last breath and mend our heart Promises of being together, till death do us part.. When the seasons wipe out and the light comes on You end your act, and the mask's gone.. You smile, you go into her open arms She's tall, perfect and all charms.. I look on, never losing a smile Acting my part, a part so vile.. I put myself to an eternal sleep As you sow, so shall you reap.. There are no complaints, absolutely none I'll look after you, till the heavens drown thy sun.

Your write gave me goosebumps. I sensed your relationship with the lines as you penned it wishing it just so, and 'just so' is the final crafted write as posted. It's gorgeous and worthy of appreciation. TRULY my joy to read this. CayCay

Thanks for sharing this. Welcome to Poetry Soup. I welcome you with the love of the Lord, expressed by John 3:16 of the Bible, "For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life.
