Trade off

Trade off

A Poem by the_stoic

colour me in shades of ash grey or lilac blue

but let me walk out of the logic and the heartburn.

 

stuff me with threads of rags or strands of silk

but let me have a say in the pulling of the strings.

 

order me to follow the set path or to keep meandering

but let me stay close to the roots of my safe haven.

 

pair me up with a fellow or someone from your creed

but let me continue loving 'her', my eternal ecstasy ~

Strong and deep statements in this poem. Each line adding to the strength and the desire of the words. Each set of lines create thoughts. I like the strong ending to the outstanding poetry.
