Deep in the heart

0 posted 2002-01-02 03:45 PM


Remove
from me
this rapier blade
with which thou
hath pierced
my heart.
Let me enjoy,
once again,
exquisite pain
and revel
in my own
agony.
Withdraw,
slowly,
so my life’s blood
will run down
the cold, sharp blade
and drip
to the ground.
Mayhap
in a rose garden
that it should not
be wasted
as were my dreams.

Fool, said my Muse to me, look in thy heart and write.

Oh, my goodness....this is somewhat gothic.
My, my, it is a bit dark but vivid.  

I think I will be reading this one again...

Die not, fair poet
for thy words give life
to dreams--as seed
to others and in turn
they might be
a welcome respite for THEE...

smiling, missed ya lovie!

Interloper - I liked this one very much.  Definitely could feel the sadness and the regret in every word.
