If I had only known it was to be the last time That I would ever be in your haloed presence I would have sold everything to stop the clock And linger in the limbo of time with you I would suffer any and all consequence As long as I was there to subsist on your flesh Instead of a growing pale memory, fleeting, failing This is where I need to be, right here This place is my oxygen and my light And I curse the endless core of me That I foolishly accepted this fate And its wretched, biting teeth leaving marks Burning with fury at both ends of me Resounding its glory with each echo Of never Never Never Again |

It is said that "Hell hath no fury like a woman scorned!" It would appear that the same applies to a man, as well! Wow! That kind of passion can surely be put to some good use! One thing that I have learned in this life school of hard knocks ~ Never say "Never"! Ooops, I do declare! I just said "Never"! ~ See what I know!  Sending a cool, calming hug your way, Linda  |

I would have sold everything to stop the clock And linger in the limbo of time with you I would suffer any and all consequence As long as I was there to subsist on your flesh Instead of a growing pale memory, fleeting, failing I know this heartbreak/frustration... but can't say never even as months become years... for lack of hope, however unrealistic, is lack of life... Superb, gripping write! |

This poem hits me inside. Wouldn't it be nice to know that we have limited time and the stop watch is ticking the seconds away? There are so many things maybe we'd do differently, words we might not say, hugs more freely given. Some poems really make me think and linger on. This is one such poem for me. Alison |
