a poem I wrote and wanted to share

[zinghigh89]

I've been writing some poems lately to help cope. You can see my story in the thread "broken long winded post". Thought maybe sharing would help some of you Plus i'll take the constructive criticism. If you want to know any of the meaning just ask : )

 

fibers, cells, nerves, and capillaries,all hands on deck

i wish to sink the ship full of the memories id like to forget

 

i can still see your body curves and all where you lay

in the cocoon of cotton where we shared each other underneath your sheets

 

i can still hear the clicking of the blinds against their frame

i can taste every inch, i often envision the candle lit shower scenes

 

freckles form upon the ridge of your nose, spotting your cheeks

your hair accross your face as the Florida wind blows. Your smile and

your laughter make the sun burn brighter for me

 

calluses line the top of the palm of my hand pressed

gently against your thigh your breath on my neck keeps me warm

beneath the ceiling fan

 

as our blood rushes through veins, eyes are wide

the floor becomes mosaic and the pillows become the clouds: we hide

if only you'd let me stay here in your arms deep inside

 

echoes of giggles, echoes of moans

a wall plastered with photographs no longer make this my room

will you think of me when the first flake falls? will God bring opportunity

for us to be entangled once more?

 

i would take you fresh from slumber; no decoration upon your face

hair pulled tightly back with a few strands out of place

a wrinkled t shirt far too big and colors faded away;

lost in a whirling spin much like you and me

 

they say "distance makes the heart grow fonder"

but too far a dare i find terrifying

"better to have love than lost" is the cheapest form of lying

a sucker i remain for even the simplest things

traits overlooked by many were the first qualities i would see

 

A hike through the past, a climb through your eyes; forest green

lead me to a furry companion embodied this critter and I stay

in the depths of your soul; a stranger to me now, still deep as a ravine

 

i suppose this could be a means to an end, and end that has already began

i thought I'd be in a different place when and if this inevitable Armageddon

decided to strike and hit

 

fore i wish to spend one more night with thee

i wish to encapsulate both hips with my arms

fly up to heaven as i drop down beneath thy knees

 

the light you've lit and presented to me

burns distant the moths enslaved by it now fly free

like a serpent of sea, i stay here just me

washing others away so selfishly, for now myself and I alone we must be
