Beautiful Art

...transition...

Sunrise upon a new horizon 

 

Still tainted by 

the memory 

Of your sunset 

and your poison 

I like her 

 and do not want her to see 

That you still have control over my heart 

And with you is where 

I still want to be 

Her kisses 

and caresses are 

 a beautiful art 

Still you are the only one 

who holds the key 

Will I let her close enough to capture my heart 

This beautiful artist of blissful seduction

 Where will this new journey take me

 

I allow myself 

to enter 

her 

instruction

Torn between the past and the future,
Torn between the lovely and the dark.
You choose to run ahead and capture,
That painted spark.

I hope all works out. ^^
I like how this poem is written and the way it plays out. Perfect for that song.
Well done. ^^

Ahh, that feeling that one is still trapped by the last as one is falling for the next. This is captured beautifully in this piece.

Beautiful. Tug of war described in a heartfelt write. Great work! (:

[FlamingPhoenix]

The internal tug-o-war was exactly the image I wanted to convey :-). Thank you for your review!

Beautiful. Written with romance and a longing heat. I hope she knows how lucky she is.

[FlamingPhoenix]

Thank you. Me too--we shall see ;-)

You are most welcome. My heart goes with you in the hopes she does know how lucky she is.

Being torn over which way to go and to have to make a choice - then living with the choice made. All this makes for intense and interesting times. It has suspense and I love the lines
"Will I let her
close
enough
to capture my heart
This beautiful artist
of blissful seduction "

Being with one may allow the longing and memory of others to fade. Great poetry. Penny

[FlamingPhoenix]

Thank you! Indeed how quickly the memories fade--but remain treasured because the journey led me to where I am now.

Transitions can be very tricky things, my friend. And very scary things as well. Beautiful imagery and poetic architecture. Bravo!

[FlamingPhoenix]

Well, I've moved through rebound and exploratory dating--on to bigger, better, and more beautiful journeys.

That you
still have control
over my heart
And with you
is where
I still want to be.

Holds the nerve of mine, such a cute poem. I like it all the way.... Great work.

[FlamingPhoenix]

Thanks! :-)

It’s stressful being in a tug-o-war. One side must win, the other lose. I was inspire to write this song-poem for you to keep as your own. Sing along as it has meter and exact rhyme.

Breakup

Sunrise weaves a new beginning
tainted by entangled threads
from old sunsets underpinning
former sorrows, former dreads.

Now it’s time that we stop spinning
like two silly dizzy heads.
We’re just losing; we’re not winning
if this poison up, and spreads.

We’re down to the final inning.
We‘re both wilting flower beds,
and the Fates of Doom are grinning
where no angel ever treads.

The tug-o-war is within myself and it is exhausting. Thank you for your gift poem. This shall be an entertaining transitional process.
