Dark loveA Poem by Gerhardus Retief
Point straw lined hat stitched on the skin.
My own enemy I can see you now so easily. Why do I call you enemy when you seem so passively nice? Because my hands are tied to dignity the thing I don't want to show. I fear you most because I dare show emotion. Is this some kid of test to my own affliction? If so then show me a solution of my own servant sylvans. Am I out of my mind because I see myself going toward a crash? Maybe I should stop cruising on a ride of negativity. I can see a poison dripping down those fangs. Is it mine or is it yours? Make my fear disappear because I cant stop it from glowing. Its my drug of synthetic ecstasy which I inject right through the ribs of my strongest bones. The chance will pass me by when I want to say. That there is trust in the must but my mind is in the pause of its way. I want to choke the reflection of the slow mirror. Why am I always there before it can reach me? Is it because my thoughts are faster than my judgment? Maybe if it is broken as much as I am it wont be so slow. An angel you are but what you keep inside is the blight of secrets. Where nobody can see past as daft as they are. But I think you hold a kingdom of caring. © 2011 Gerhardus Retief |
