Hey people,
cannot believe I have not come across this before

Have not written since HS and thought I would take it up again, so here is the first in 16 yrs

\

                    Abomination

  Love, a fleet footed thing, will steal away an unwary soul
    for those who would be coy, a whispered word of endless pain
  Deep chasms shelter a tortured soul, a respite, a refrain
    O’ if only the world I see could be at all logical
  Then the poisoned chalice would not have to be taken whole,
    T’wix the rising of the sun, till moonlight fades, I abstain
  Break free I’ve yearned so long, from the iron bands which constrain
    My tepid heart, to be unleashed, I will beg, plead, cajole

  Can it still be, for me, loves sweet grandeur
    A token, a travesty, holding onto a past’s great plan
  T’was it a shimmer, a mirage, on the memories hazy horizon

  Till morning sun breaks it’s fast, I shall raconteur
   And forestall the burdens, my emotions to the van
  What other only see, as me, a fool, and abomination
                      ****

Thanks it is nice to know that there is a place one can place their work

*grin*
