Love's Infliction, My Inflection

Pop64

 

Summer’s sweetness lies upon the shores of tomorrow

As today’s bitterness is cast upon the craggy jettison

Left to die is the presence of torment and sorrow

As the only cure is this symbolic medicine

 

As I stand on this shore now daydreaming

My eyes find their focus on the view

While my heart’s inside screaming

I can’t get my mind off of you

        A bitter sweet pill of love, lol nothing if not complex. beautiful imagery and your last lines just so painfully real. ❤️

          Teddy, thank you. Sometimes we can fall into fantasy or want, so hard, that it can be so overwhelming.

          Raw emotions! No sugar coating! You make it so matter of fact at the end! "I can’t get my mind off of you" Nothing more, nothing less!!! Take it as you please...kind of thing! Beautiful!!

            sometimes our heads (and hearts) can't turn away. Thank you so much, Liz!

            This required two readings and was worth much more. A heartfelt plea of love
