The Sacrifice

There is so much pain in the world why would we want to introduce more...think before you do

   

The sacrifice

 

The harsh reality

that plagues this man’s soul,

the cushions of love

as it beckon on moist lips

and elastic motions,

what would one do

if bonded in emotional matrimony

and the murmurs

of the heart sung for change. 

 

For love had at one time

hinged this solid door

and the glorious motion

exhibited a flowing spirit

that shrouded my soul

would remind me

of the constant comfort

 I once possessed.  

 

To crush someone,

of such a virtue,

with a heart so tender of beating motion,

would destroy a natural

work of art and inflame rapture

that would cripple her life

for eternity. 

 

To cease the kiss,

the hold and the embrace

would be such a travesty

that my heart could not bear

responsibility…

for I would rather spend

an eternity bonded in hell

than to express the thought

of breaking her pure heart

Excellent piece, Ralphie. Full of strong passion, emotion and maturity. How true it is to think before you speak and act for your words and actions have the power to cripple and/or destroy. But on the other hand, what is one to do when they no longer love and desire the other in the same fashion as before? How do you impart such words of uninterest and still make it easy to look the other in the face without being a jerk? Nothing lasts forever except true love and if it isn't true, then it inevitably ends.

This is heartfelt. Great job!!

This is a thoughtful and considerate piece to ponder deep. Well written!
