On the banks of love I cast my worries with the rod of life Sparkling in your eyes upon the water Gentle perfumes of misty memories Brushed my face of needing me to reel you in The warmth of the sun reflecting the image of you In your face of love tanning your warmth into my heart My line seeks you out in the depth of my needs To deposit upon your moist lips absorbing me more As I lay there reflecting upon my inner mist of needs Your image is formed from the watery ripples that hooked you In all my strength my rod needed you As it bents to accommodate you With the winds brush of hot whispers We fought for all the tides In the rough seas of passionate love And just when I thought I had won the fight You broke the line sending me back reeling for more I keep enticing you with more treats And the battles get longer and more fruitful Somehow this is a battle I do not mind losing For your free will, will never need to be captured And set upon a trophy on a wall That is why I started to carry a razor blade To cut the line and set you free if you should ever tire But my foolish pride has never let me us it For the battle you give does not require it For you will always be to one that got away And I will be the one feeding you the line That will always need you more Even now that we share the same sea Forever in life Email me if you want a critique on or off line at [email protected] D.Lester Young (02/28/02) Tuscaloosa, AL Copyright © D.Lester Young (White Eagle poetry) http://www.authorsden.com/visit/author.asp?AuthorID=5012 [This message has been edited by D.Lester Young (03-11-2002 02:42 AM).] |

"For you will always be to one that got away And I will be the one feeding you the line That will always need you more Even now that we share the same sea Forever in life" this touched me |
