Violet
The rhyme schemes of these latest poems are simpler than the others, but I like them that way, I like these to be contrite and sincere, and that’s what I think the shortened stanzas help me do, since I compose them in my head as I watch and think about the person.
So I was out til 5:30 this morning drinking and having a blast with Carrie, Amber, Renee, Renee(there are two), Angie, Brad, Amanda, and Amy. It was a really great time that made me realize some interesting things about women and some of my fellow cast mates….;)
Anyway…the poem.
VIOLET
Luscious violet, banner of heart’s devotion,
Shroud my humble vision in cloak of ocean
Tides that assail my lover’s fantasy beaches,
Allow your loving strength to aid my reaches
Into the boundless-deep fathoms of lover’s truth,
Long lost by age, long mourned by youth,
In decadence of humble white I shall stride
Her faithful knight, her loyalty my only pride,
And silver sword all men unsheath to honor earn
Shall I cast from hand as if iron surely burned.
No desire shall drift through mind of other eyes
Nor lips or hair, no other melody shall disguise
Itself well enough to twist me to a shallow wretch,
NO! My unyielding smile and values shall fin’ly etch
Engravings into the hearts of every wayward soul,
Guide their sight towards their long forgotten goal,
Yet cursed my poetic speech doth seem to me,
For all day and night I do dream to be
Her lover, yet like every muse who has inspired,
She slips through me as though she’d not transpired
Into this ungodly world of loneliness and sorrow,
Yet I last with hope and wait for love tomorrow.
thats really good 🙂
