Linger

by Dave   Apr 10, 2007


So innocent the young flirt will lust... her perfume in the air; lingering a sweet scent of jasmine and lilac no one to see the first touch.

a mans lonely heart will thirst for youth... his touch is there; soft gentle strong accepted the sin with guilt to come.

time is her only fault with few left between ... hold her, feel her, taste her passion the furry and rush; a lie between the page words escaped.

not with one thought not with one word... there comes a time; with no alibi I will hide under the world your fight will be faced alone.

heavy hearted yet perfectly scorned she holds no vengeance ... a smile once there is still unseen; hurt and agony is her only true friend.

yet another night goes on trapped misgivings of fate not surrendering... where is the truth; her heart will beat on his will end.

dead end street the end of the block leather gloves tight... her hard pressed memory's of his icy gaze; her time dead in his hand.

tragedy in a small town the masses will grieve... her dynasty has just begun; one slip of the razor and his misbegotten life will fade.

goodbye to loves broken heart... goodbye to the sweet young flirt; goodbye to the scents of jasmine and lilac that still linger.

    To be honest, it was a bit of a bore at the beginning, and i was lost between the first few lines, but as I read on you pulled me in, and that's the way a true poet should be with the reader. Well done. 5/5
