Cliffhanger Date: Monday, 3rd May 2004 @ 05:44:47 PM AEST Topic: Sad Poetry Contributed By: merry ________________ Eloquent sequential order of every phrase Sculpted for her - and her alone She thinks on it for hours and hours Playing with the strands of thought Like pearls of wisdom Dangling there before her Costing her everything She has and will ever have You knowingly squander Her time away in increments Taking and taking but never giving And she is fool enough to want more Of this unfulfilling banquet Piled high with empty words Tossed back and forth across the table We will be sent to bed – you're smiling Wanting and not wanting her She is resilient - she is moonlight You are fire licking her senses Tempting her to take one step closer To what end she asks Before she jumps Leaving you to sputter in the dark This poem is Copyright © merry Important note: ALL POETRY ON THIS SITE IS COPYRIGHT.
