Adhesive and self-sealing You are my friendly feeling. Helps me sink deeper So it all goes slow The memory’s a keeper You’re sifting sorrow from my blood flow Addictive and self-healing You are my secret meaning Helps me sink deeper Into everything I know The memory’s a keeper. You’re sieving musing from my summer low. Enticing and soft seeming You are my guilt dreaming Helps me sink deeper To drown below the flow The memory’s a keeper You’re stealing heartbeats from my damaged soul You’re stealing the last beat To keep it for your own… You’re taking all the best To claim for your own… Adhesive and self-sealing You’ve stolen all the meaning to keep it for your own... "And the sun went down, and the stars came out far over the summer sea, But never a moment ceased the fight of the one and the fifty-three." |

Wow this is a very good poem. I like how it was alittle repetitve, but different then tied in to the poem. Well done. I couldn't find any pointers or any thing the flow is good and the rhyme was good. -Juju Juju - 1.) a magic charm or fetish 2.)Magic 3.)A taboo connected woth the use of magic |
