PostPoems Be Artistic. Be Creative. Be Inspired!

paper amusements

that's what we are

the art of being honest

knows this

the metaphysical removes her hat

and walks through the open door of

bloodless despair

paintings of perfect memories

hang misplaced

upon now lifeless airy walls

true unhappiness

mere possessions of no real feeling

you with that silly flower between your teeth

standing on the steps of the Seine

happiness captured

all you hugs so warm and fierce

drag me back to our time

like it never left

and is there for us to enjoy

the touch of your dark, gentle hand upon my

face

with eyes so fearfully hopeful

yours but mine too

as you confess this amazing love you have

for me

such emotion

drugged melancholy

memories are such beautiful but cruel creatures

even death never lets them forget

you are lodged in my heart

the truest companion for my soul

the true essence of you

anyway there you will remain

safe

waiting for me to be with you

when I too am gone

then we shall be

completely reunited

joined

at last in spirit

never to be separated again

I breathed you

and now I must hold that breath

until I can fully breath you again

breath with you

oh......... with you

such lovely words

so much so

that

I sleep with them

every night

my days are so much

the happier that way..............
