Loves Bitter Tale

A salty dog lover's sea tale

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

- Love’s Bitter tale -

 

Love’s grown icy,

Bold As a northern

seas Mighty gale

 

Lover’s sweet tales

Have long since sailed

 

Where hot raging fires

Once danced and devoured

Dense, hearty wood

Only an empty charred

Pit remains

 

Bittersweet dreams

Of yesterday haunt and seize

At crack of dawn

 

Gentle tears roll and flow

As violent sobs are drawn

 

 

Holding Back 

A tumultuous

Flood of emotions

That Her fragile

levee contains

 

Till morning bluebird

Sings her Ginger 

morning dew song

 

Lifeless lovers

Repressing the

Passing of

A passion

That has

Since passed

Along

 

Leaving hearts flaccid

And bodies

Too frigid to hold

 

At Last

Their love has

Grown cold

[Jibey]

Sad, melancholy resignation in the images of cold and of burnt out fires... The structure supported the flow of ideas and held it back from sentimentality... A fine write
