PostPoems Be Artistic. Be Creative. Be Inspired!

shimmer in me great veils of delight

yet pass not over me in your grateful pauses' stead

carry your lightning like message far

yet alight back to my awaiting door

to rap at the before still shutters

that blanket my frost lined head

misery, how she leans heavily upon the bureau

of my many past regrets

she bargains for

yet knows not what in return for her efforts

she will get

mute congratulations or simply a bruised trust

that was unintentionally battered to death

the hope laced with fear hangs heavily throughout

these direly scribbled thoughts

forcing me to confront my ageless insecurities

and note that for no other would I vow to pay

such steep debt

only for you

my now 'Darkened Delights'.................
