I sing my body
To electric dolls
Though know not one
Who will sing to me
I cast my spell
How it enthralls
Before their eyes
Too blind to see

I waste my time
With flights of fancy
Scrolling words
Upon this page
I take my chance
Though no one can see
This heart that withers
As I age

Judge me not
The words that I’ve said
Rather on
The things I‘ve done
For very soon
I will be dead
Nevermore
To feel the sun

And when I pass
Beyond this realm
Please know these words
Of love are true
I’ll board the ship
And take the helm
Then sail my way
Right back to you

Regret not that which you have done,
Rather that which you haven't

This one was like the idea of E.A. Poe taking a fancy to Leaves of Grass.

bsquirrel: To be compared to the likes of Edgar Allen Poe and Walt Whitman's Leaves of Grass is quite an honor, I thank you sir.

Moon Dust: And I thank you as well. I'm glad you liked this piece.
