PostPoems Be Artistic. Be Creative. Be Inspired!

like fearsome and fascinating sharks

our emotions clawed their way to the surface

making each involved in the process all the more

none to sure of 'us'

all too ready for the final kill

at the first smell of a few drops of blood

pumping like some refined form of madness

all too quickly into a fiery yet all the more

familiar flood

that scorches only the face of the one who openly

loves and not the one who merely cares

how foolish felt I

in the aftermath

to learn that such missed remarks

caught me so completely unawares

fiercely we battled face to tear ravaged face

losing all ground on which we before so soundly stood

while too terribly scared to even attest to knowing

the aged old rules

that where even the hardest of hearts fears to tread

the mind takes an unaccountable amount of pleasure

and the acts of the foolish

it all too happily unearths and schools

so, I in the end, learned as I none too brilliantly

burned

and you bled as onward and on my letter you solemnly read

and as that mutual beat slowed to an almost sexual

like pace

I tipped my travel weary hat to you as before me

all fear disintegrated without but a single trace

you really must in some  even small manner love me to

so inspire me in just this rambled way

the feelings of course to you are returned some ten fold

my very own Mr. Rochester but as to why I'm not so sure I can

soon bring myself around to say

perhaps though, through the essence of some terrible

inexplicable fate

you have managed to become the key to this golden puzzle

as well as, a most truly ideal and accommodating

mate...............
