For Love Forlorn

Just a short one today, another spoken word. The reason all my recent pieces are in this style is that I'm attempting to write an EP full of my work.

Oh baby, I knew this would be wrong

And I knew that every second I spent

With you, would add one more,

To the sins that we were to amass.

But darling, can we escape this cycle,

Of falling in love for a night.

When knowing we have to resist

How we set each other on fire.

My angel, I know, I know everything

That's running through your mind.

The thoughts that shouldn't escape,

Finally being set free.

Dear precious, don't fret or fear.

Because if we were right for us,

If we were meant to be,

Then the timing would never be wrong.

My love, wipe your eyes.

Because even if I don't feel

Your perfect lips pressed,

Pressed against mine.

This is for you, and for love forlorn.

Opening lines perfect.
"Oh baby, I knew this would be wrong
And I knew that every second I spent
With you, would add one more,
To the sins that we were to amass."
We sense the burn and we want to dance anyway. No weakness in the excellent poetry.

Thank you so much! And I'm glad you like the opening, it's my favourite of the stanzas.

[Coyote Poetry]

My favorite too and you are welcome.

Continue with your spoken words, perhaps you can start a Monologue.
This sounds kind of lonely to me, maybe it's the way I'm reading it.

This poem shows the dichotomy of life, the constant yin and yang between all people. Great write! :)

[H.L. Cerveise]

I like it. It shows how even though we know something is not right, or that we know will go wrong we do it none the less. It is as you wrote, "...can we escape this cycle..." and part of us wants to, but another part does not. It is a battle within souls and hearts that will go on until our passing.

Well done.
