Dream in Sunshine

something that just hits me - what is love? how does it affect a lover who's feelings are never returned?

 

With love comes hate,

Despise and disgrace

Through endless nights of taunting,

Your partner has turned haunting

 

You lie in bed, silky sheets warm

Not a thing out of place

Your home is a castle

But your temple lies in ruins

 

The night calls to you

The bitter, salty sea breeze calms you

And tempts you from your stupor

 

You rise, but waver, hesitant to leave

But willpower leads your way

Through the rooms, out the window you look

And see far, far away a night black brook

 

You can jump now, so high high up

And take your chances – caught in the throws of imagined luck

Down deep, you know that this is all a dream

That comes luck, comes need and blooms greed

 

But are you willing to wake

And live your scornful life in hate?

 

Oh, the feel of the water

As it runs over your skin

Slick and ever seductive

Calling you to it

 

You cannot take it, this lovely temptress

Arms raised high

You jump into the night

And soar in gracious speeds

 

And you wait….

 

The ending to this is not how you’d expect

For you never landed

Near the beguiling waters’ edge

 

But awoke to sunlight

And an angels face, smiling down

Warming your face in a halo of sun

 

This is what you’ve wanted, ever so true

That your lover has come back for you

 

And only you

what it imply's may be, for some 'inappropiate' but there really is nothing too sexual in this but truth

Reviews

[Michael X]

I think the form is off because you start with rhyme but vear in another direction without rhyme,
if you could stay consistant either as prose or poetry, this would really turn everyones heads,
the talent is definitely there, great job

[Somebody you've already..]

i dont think its too sexual. i think its great to have a happy ending.
