Burn, Burn, BurnA Poem by Ben RogersShe speaks a smoke of clouds and ideals, As time bears down on the restlessness of her soul, Words become notions and theories; Philosophies of everything we’re rushing past in the search for better days She wounded my soul in her search for goodness as I swirl in this cesspool, bathing in sin, Drowning in myself, all I cared of was her, Sugars taste bitter since I tasted her lips, Seconds are regrets I’m not beside her, Moments become lost in the blink of her eyes As I slip away to sell my dreams for pennies on the pound I’m wheezing; she reeks of purity If I were to drip ink in the sink in which she bathes There would be protests and pickets at my door My face would cover newspapers, signs and t-shirts, I am an outlaw, who must leave her alone forever more © 2014 Ben Rogers |
