Love Letters Date: Wednesday, 26th May 2004 @ 08:08:13 PM AEST Topic: Sad Poetry Contributed By: merry ____________ Love letters are fickle commodities, kept in pretty boxes Caressed with loving hands longing to touch the sender So far away and yet so dear, as if you were watching me Your eyes so honestly blue, my lips long for kisses We are lovers in words alone, on pages neatly folded Kept in secret compartments under lock and key My lover writes to me, my heart stirs, dreams unfurl Stars fill the heavens when I read his words So carefully chosen, each one a perfect gem Love letters fill my heart indirectly with you Say what you want, say what you will, I believe every word But one day they stop as if ink has gone dry My hope’s forlorn and love I despise for abandoning me Adorn me with words, paint stars in my eyes What a fool I was to put so much store in nothing at all Flowery phrases and fifty cent words, made me a whore Striking a match, the flame comes glowing to life Turning your lies into ashes, I bid you good-bye This poem is Copyright © merry Important note: ALL POETRY ON THIS SITE IS COPYRIGHT.
