Swords of Solace (Safe Haven Part 2:Prologe to Arm's Length)

We all have a need and desire to feel comfortable. to let loose and just be ourselves around a particular someone.

Once upon a torn parchment,

I melted into the ambiance,

Of a careless caress.

Of  sweet lechery.

Blessed be…

And amnesty.

 

A ghost resides beside me,

Sleeping in my bed.

A linguistic of the past,

Like whispers of my words,

Words so lost of meaning.

I falter to believe,

But see the truth.

I hear the silence,

Even in its absence.

 

Happily ever after,

In just a thought.

Forever is a very long time.

No longer than a single heartbeat.

Beating echoes of defeat.

But no…

I’ve found forever.

I confided in your eyes.

Found philosophy in your smile.

A reason to believe again.

But found myself…

One wish away…

From a descending blade.

From lusty lips,

…Sharp…

Like the strings,

Of the devil’s harp.

 

Don’t speak the words,

If they aren’t true.

Too cruel of a joke,

Even for you.

I’ve found finality in your deeds.

Fatality in your seeds.

But never thought to say,

“Thank you”

A very good piece. I love the word choice. Can't quite pick out the line I love the most. The imagery is nicely placed and phrased throughout the poem. It's simply a great piece. I love it.

Thank you very much for your thoughts.

This. Is. Perfect. I know this feeling from falling in love with someone who only knows how to play games my heart. He entertains the idea of being with me, then laughs like he was kidding.
"Don’t speak the words,
If they aren’t true.
Too cruel of a joke,
Even for you."
That's EXACTLY what I mean! Love this!

Ah, Celine Dion. She has a very lovely voice, but I never really listen to much of that style. This is more my style:
