Tossing my words

Tossing my words

A Poem by Jack...

 

 

 

 

Tossing my words

 

 

My pen oozes feelings in splattering ink

Lines in symmetrical visions of truth

Carved from a heart that is desperate to think

Somewhere inside sleeps the essence of proof

 

Reaching that point where the matters at play

Running around in my mind’s subtle crest

Hoping to find the right sentence to say

This is my love for I gave you my best

 

When is enough more than money can buy

Simple the pleasures awaiting your touch

Tiny endeavors on wings set to fly

Sunlight and flowers and wishes and such

 

Still comes another of phrases to win

Sweeping you off to the end of my time

Spinning in circles as yet to begin

Lost and alone as he utters, “you're mine”

 

Why is it always the soft hearted fall

Deep in the crevice of fading desire

Charcoal and ashes, the flame’s ending call

Diamonds and rubies now what you require

 

So as I sit at this desk in the cold

Staring beyond every dream I might see

Endless the verses these memories hold

Tossing my words at what now can not be

Love keeps our ink going and the flame of the spirit burning. We want to be able to say the words: " I love you, you are mine."...But we need the essence of proof from our beloved. You pen oozes with beauty...:).............
