Full throttle ahead
Reserved hesitation
Lovers in their separate beds
Curious fingers
Your perfume lingers
Obsessive reminders
Of a lost time far behind us

Pondering our options
I’ve bowed gracefully out
Muted to closed captions
I’ve opted for the peaceful route
The early worm
Always gets devoured
The late bird starves
And dies a coward

A parallel thought
Transcends this demise
You’ve been caught
In a web of your own lies
The spider soon returns
To the web he once wove
Demolishing all you strove-

To build, this city of gold
Your passion dissipates
All has gone wrong
All you anticipate
Is now forlorn
Summon a spell
From your book of magic
Perhaps this lonely hell
Won’t stay so tragic

Early Worms

Obsessive reminders

Great flow to this piece, and your words have a bite to them! I like these eff you type of writes from you!! As long as they're not directed at me : O
More shunning of sadness, than actual sadness in this write, and your ending is great, because...what else? It's positive: )

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. Â©
