Real

peto

Your continuous absence 

Is starting to show 

The love that I have 

I'm afraid you won't know 

Those please come to bed eyes 

You deliberately throw 

Were never directed at me

 

Teasing all of my body

My soul and my mind 

To the point when the doc says 

Son stop or go blind 

How cruel must it all get

For this one of a kind 

To see sunrise announce a new day 

 

Still that age old romantic 

Who's under my skin 

Hopes one day you'll return 

With the demons within 

Beaten into a pulp 

As you finally begin 

Getting real curtain down no more play

      Ohhhhh this...."Still that age old romantic Who's under my skin, Hopes one day you'll return, With the demons within" ACCEPTANCE? Raw and real! I'm a hopeless romantic too! I'm currently writing a piece that resonates with this one! I love it!!! ❤️

        Oh peto- I agree with everyone else, "Still that age old romantic

        Who's under my skin

        Hopes one day you'll return

        With the demons within "
        this is beautiful, beautiful, beautiful! And real, and so so so similar to exactly how I feel at the moment that I am almost considering calling this telepathy!

          Hi Rilla
          I knew you were going to say that
          Many thanks my friend

          'How cruel must it all get
          For this one of a kind
          To see sunrise announce a new day'

          .. it seems the love that must come out of this is other worldly magical.. that must be why the one under your skin holds hope.. the soul never forgets or so it seems.

          "Other worldly magical "
          Such a poetic response

          The cadence in this right is flowing and smooth, while your words speak with vivid imagery, successfully providing the clarity and strong meaning of the piece. Beautiful work!

          • peto

            Thank you very much pop
            Truly appreciate such a comment

            I hear Cole Porter's "I've got you under my skin", playing in the background as you maneuver your way through the tangled web of love, with the eternal hope of a silver lining at the end. This poem has it all in spades my friend!

            • peto

              I got you
              Deep in the heart of me
              Thank you very much Bella
              You honour me with such a comparison
              Truly grateful
