20 February 2012 - Where Song Ends - rinterzato

This one shows two sides of love; the waiting and longing, and the promise of commitment.  More an image in my head which I poeticized.

20 February 2012 - Where Song Ends - rinterzato

She lay on the bed, her arm extended;

moonlight, intruder, candle exhausted;

wine glass, it’s cracking, her faith accosted;

alone, she’s alone, her heart’s not mended.

he strums the strings inviting doubt,

he hums the things, she could do without.

Her lips,  near her pillow, but breath, far away;

breaking, porcelain, fragile, in pieces;

vagrant, her arm lies, consumed, lies will sway;

her mind, like her heart, fulfilled night’s creases.

he’s calling her, she’s dreaming back,

he’s stalling her, streams drowning knack.

There bare, understudy, enslaved, her eyes close;

past wait, she’s naked, looking for promise;

bedsheets, lost eddies, curling, she’s exposed;

blooded, cut roses, won’t last long, like this.

his song like love, fleeting sorrow,

and gone too long, forgets tomorrow.

Classic, like a painting, she lies, midnight oils;

pigments, best from grounds grown in fertile soil.

he styles the strings, she plies canvas,

his song refrains, her brush can’t stand less.
