Accursed Cursive The rummaging had gone on long enough, he, pulling to the fore, the past throwing her cards and notes in her face in snarl of past lust ~ Did you not mean what you said when you wrote these words? Anger colored the walls again. She shook her head, but only in solemnity of the moment’s waste, In faltering voice, spoke, yes, I did. She did not step to the fore of his front nor would her tongue trip loose the words to slice this moments truth but in silent thought, held once more, My words you would rue, for then as now I did my best, promising love through all your tests, but see the push of the pen engraved, feel the embossing of the lines I made? Can you not see, nor feel the intent, I wanted to fulfill the words that were lent in total spirit of what could be only, just as then, you’ve killed it once again, you see. For only in a good love will truest words live on, to float in the Garden of Trust. |

Sybil "She did not step to the fore of his front nor would her tongue trip loose the words to slice this moments truth" There is much emotive truth in this poem...a powerful scene!  |

throwing her cards and notes in her face in snarl of past lust ~ Did you not mean what you said when you wrote these words? Guilty as charged...I have done exactly this, and what a mistake it was. The very asking forces an answer that is loss itself, kills any hope of salvaging the feeling behind the words. Holding on, declaring the road to be taken instead of dithering in the woods, that's what really makes all the difference....that and, and once the road's chosen, following it to the end. One of the seven poems I lost this week was called "The Road Not Worth Taking"....I'm attempting to recapture it, and this poem inspires me to go on. ~~(¸¸¸¸ºº> ~~(¸¸¸¸ºº> ~~(¸¸ ¸¸ºº> ~~~(¸¸ER¸¸ºº> |
