Unrecognizable Rhythm

midnight's

descend clothed me

in darkness,

stilling

the process of

you giving up on us

but

it was useless

when

dawn's ascend

stripped me naked with

a

vengeance

that ache-quaked

my being

 

it's

no longer there

your...

sugary, salty taste

that clung to my tongue

long after our orgasms sprung

 

imprints

of your fingertips

were fading fast from my skin

 

survival

instinct kicked in

summoning daydreams to

pull down my eyelids and project

memorable moments with you

but

souldeep your absence

persistently

abuse my senses

the words,

{{YOU'RE. GONE. FOR. GOOD.}}

beat against

my eardrums resounding thoughts of

your scent, I'll never take in again

or

feel the heat of your kiss

on my lips

 

each

footstep

taken, led you away

trampling my heart into

an

unrecognizable rhythm

from the way

it used to beat

for only

you

 

I

feel

the slowing

of your love flow

through my veins and hear the

weakening beeps

I

know

our flat line

is just a matter

of time...

love's death is near

and

I

don't know

rather to let us

rest in peace

or

do my best

and try to resurrect

us.

When uncertainty is fresh, all traces linger. Such precise word choice opened up the readers' senses to those traces. Should she mend or does it end? Fabulous write, a 7! Welcome to Poetry Soup!

Corey, Welcome to Poetry soup, I hope you enjoy the community. Here, you will find friendly poets who enjoy supporting one another. I myself, enjoy reading and commenting those who want to be read. The only time I give constructive criticism is when a poet desires it. However, if for some reason the poem is not my field I will guide you to someone who is more qualified than I. Stop by and read one of my poems if you like. My poems are not perfect, but I have a feeling you might like one. I encourage you to check out the contest page and read to receive comments. Tell me a little about your poetic skills if you like. It will be my pleasure to follow and read every poem you post from here on :) We are Lucky To Have you. Your New Poet Friend @-> LINDA <-@
