Lovejuice Minnow Promotion // LEAVING OF YOU by @warpedpoetic

in poetry •  7 years ago  (edited)

This is my Valentine post for all the lovers, newly weds and broken hearted. I am not much of a love, red roses guy. I am too warped to give you the kind of romance you desire but I can leave you with a broken hearted song.

LEAVING OF YOU

In my heart there’s nothing left

But the leaving of your ashes, the waters

Of your ending dew, hanging like pearls amidst my lids.

In my hands are forgotten stories Mother told;

Woman and man, love, death and broken hearts.

I have counted the tales and thought them complete

Until you came and rethought my heart to know pain.


It was nothing at first; the steady flaying of my skin

Over the fires of your touch;

The smouldering guilt of your eyes

As you drank all that was me

Into the unyielding depths of your fevered heat

But I was a fool like every man before me.

I thought to tame the world like a soccer ball.

I caught the sun

And thought it a candle flame.

I dared to stir the tides

Of the moon and thought me a pirate captain

Hugging plundered coasts;

I was a fool.


The ashes of your leaving flutter in the wind;

Moths dance, stirred by flickering candle light;

Wings whispering

Of what could have been,

Of mysteries that you wrote on my skin once

When your eyes sought mine between each lie and

I refused you the waters of my heart

And let the walls sunder;

Let the bridge crumble into the unending abyss.

I was a fool.

Peace
