My Jewel

Why? What happened at
the end of the volley
I was left shouting
words flew like stones, and
got more words to fly
and I felled the crystal
that was me – the idea
that grew in your mind
suddenly words ceased
your silence directed
at me, cried a loss
Why we flew, what we threw
do silly things matter?
but the rhythm was
almost shocked to death

And then it kicked
the instinct in me
what I needed
was crystal clear
we don’t need
no treacly tears
I don’t need a kiss
from you but a word
I’m all too human
to live of food and water
and air alone
if I hadn’t got your
love and care
I’d have died long ago
so just utter a word

Your word’s a soother
that makes me cry
Sire, I’m your whelp
Am happy, a little bit
of your bite is mine, and
when we would be gone
you would linger in me
we would still have
the cadence, of love
Now, don’t worry
about your crystal
the idea that spilled
from your mind
I picked up myself
I am my jewel

Live Life!

You write original and expressive love poems. In this one I particularly like "words flew like stones" and the crystal metaphors -- very appropriate to the topic. And , yes, I think "silly things" do matter more than we think.
Thank you so much for your comments on my work.
