Freedom of Choice

Whispers beckon to the wanderer,
hold steadfast to the tether
where I'm waiting at the pinnacle
in a single, nondescript box
should you choose to duet this ride.

Open it with the key beside,
welcome my Love with heart
open wide.

OR

Ignore me, untouched to decay
as a carcass with no hide;
silently journey down the other side.

The choice, my darling, is up to you.
Which will you choose?

how did I come to read two such depressing pieces (yours and Corinne's) in sequence-
Where's the prince for you two and the princess for me? This zombie carcass wants life. God won't ignore 3 combined prayers.
btw - you always write great potry - this is no exception

I don't know, Wilfred. *shaking my head*
Maybe princes and princesses exist only in books.
Chin up and thanks for your comments

Ignore you?????? Only an idiot could or would. Loved the way you laid down the law as painful as it was. Great read.

I don't especially like to be ignored. I doubt many people do.

I'm pleased to have your read, Mark.
Thank you.
