Here lies love
coiled around my leg so long
It pulses its muscles
every so often
It relaxes to softness
at other times

Will it cut off my circulation?
Will it sink into the sand?

There goes love
slithering away from my leg
It flicks its tongue
in the air
It sways its tale
to and fro

Will it poise for a fresh victim?
Will it disappear into the sand?

Somewhere lies love
coiled along another branch
It waits patiently
today
I wonders what
will come

Will it ever find me again?
Will it follow me into the sand?



everyday is a new day; forget the past, remember the future.

glorybox,
this poem shows a very interesting concept of love.
Fascinating and seductive.

Be well
Kethry.


"It is the image in the mind that links us to lost treasures;
but it is the loss that shapes the image,
gathers the flowers weaves the garland."-

great work
Yes love
I think maybe love is ever changing
with turmoil and emotions that tear us apart
at times or bring ecstacy or joy
and happiness.
