Felony

 

I never thought

 

that I would see

 

that kind of

 

brazen robbery

 

You executed

 

perfectly

 

A wonderment of crime

 

 

Felony

 

I lie in chains

 

no more to be

 

a man whose heart

 

beats quietly

 

And ain't that just

 

the irony

 

for if you brought it

 

back to me

 

it still would not be mine

 

 

And what did you get?

 

What did you get

 

for your larceny?

 

A handful of coins

 

thirty or so

 

bright and silvery?

 

Did you exchange

 

for a handful of change

 

something more precious, my dear?

 

For a heart can be gold

 

but a heart can be sold

 

and formed into rings for a nose and an ear

 

 

Oh, Felony

 

I can't describe

 

the misery

 

My nights alone

 

agony

 

I still love you, Felony

 

So slowly goes

 

the time.

DB I love reading your poems. You have a way with words. Keep writing.

[A World Away]

I love the way that flows.

Simple, but not simple. Elegant.

 

Otherwise, all I can say is...I know.

[Daddy Bear]

Thanks, thanks and thanks.

 

Just a hind paw note here: I can't rightly hold anyone other than myself responsible for the real-life events that spawned this little doohickey. Bears are feeling critters, though, and I definitely do feel like my heart's been swiped.

And yet...it doesn't seem to be missing, in that you still have so much of it to go around.

Ha, don't believe the hype. I only put up this Gingerbrot-Haus to lure chubby Kinder into mein stewpot.

[tiredofvampires]

You've very talented with putting words together.
