Take my heart it’s here, it’s beating fast
Those promises you made they didn't last
These tears I cry I cry them for my love
It came so fast I thought it from above
But now there is a shroud surrounding you
My lungs exhale the air I breath is blue
The time you bent and kissed my wanton tears
You crucified me and left me with my fears
Securing warmth your body …..Next to mine
Desire percolates my mind like vintage wine
The sea in there dissolving in my head
They meant so much the words that you once said
The thorn of love had pierced my willing side
In passion spent I cannot run and hide
Your gentle soft and melting longing flesh
My ardour rose the scent was sweet and fresh
We floated out into the Promised Land
But grains of hope are lost in drying sand
I gambled all my cards the game was lost
With raging love I pay the unknown cost
The highway long is calling after me
But thoughts of you they won’t set me free
Like the Devil quelled in shame I now stand
Please let my conscience hold and kiss your hand

Well folks this is a snapshot of a memory.

That is, it is from the past,you know when you want things to be right but deep down you know they aren't.

How well I know that.. This is wonderful..  

 I awake to a world I don't want. There is no transition for me. I am in heaven. I am in hell.

This has an ethereal feel to it, kind of like a dream state.  Sad in what could have been.  Full of feeling.  Wonderful write, as usual Jon.

I knew from the title this would be fabulous, and I was not mistaken if anything it is even better than I thought it would be. You are very talented and I am glad you share your talent here with all of us.

This is a wonderful poem, snapshots of memories pop up in my mind all the time...if I could only fix all my mistakes.  

Love and hugs,
Lizzie
