Array ( [sid] => 155894 [catid] => 1 [aid] => mick [title] => Who Could Ask For More [time] => 2009-12-13 11:11:53 [hometext] => from the pages of long ago... [bodytext] =>
Tightly held by arms of sadness,
Hand of fate to wipe my tears,
Loneliness my staunch companion,
Always there to calm my fears,
If I long to know the pleasure,
Of a warm and tender kiss,
Lips of pain are always willing,
Who could ask for more than this.

I look upon my own reflection,
In my shattered mirror of dreams,
A thousand weeping eyes peer back,
And call to me with silent screams,
But still my ears refuse to listen,
Deafened in my world of bliss
I have all I'll ever need,
Who could ask for more than this.

So save your tender words of comfort,
Really now, I will be fine.
I have all a man could want,
Why, I can even call you mine,
And that would just be one more brick,
In my house built on a lie,
Where I can finally lock the door
And have a peaceful, private cry.

Who Could Ask For More

I noted the somber tone in your comment; it's good to see that the oldies are still around. This site is our long-lost teddy bear. I'm sure we'll be back.

Oh, and your simple, unadorned style, combined with the moving sentiments and potent twists, still make you one of the poets that I first aspired to be like. Just in case you didn't know.

While every care is taken to ensure the general sites content is family safe, our moderators cannot be in all places; all the time. Please report poetry and or comments that are in breach of our site rules HERE (Please include poem title or url). Parents also please ensure that you supervise your children well when they are on the internet; regardless of what a site says about being, or being considered, child-safe.

Poetry is much like a great photo, a single "moment in time" capturing many feelings and emotions. Yet, they are very alive; creating stirrings within the readers who form visual "pictures" of the expressed emotions within the Poem. ©
