A Poet’s Death or Encore?

Teddy.15

 

 

If it not be love, please let me die

for it is I, and I alone

who can know

my true feelings, deep within my soul

 

my darling, it is but for you, that I breathe

my wrists could be tied with burning rope

I would resist the flames for your heart

I’m already under your charm filled spell

 

I love you

more than the most magnificent sunset

ever to lay down onto this gracious earth

beams of dusk skidding off waves onto land 

from the ocean so very grand

 

but…

If you were indeed to deny my love

then I shall sleep deeply in an everlasting dream

a poetess forever hoping

to change a broken past into love

for you my darling

I would, I would go to the end of the world

 

now to you” my audience”

here upon you

is your opportunity to laugh loudly…

 

as the great mohair grand drapes fall

dramatically to the floor

I get caught up 

falling most ungraciously ass over tit

entangled both my body and pride

underneath this the main curtain   

 

leaving me rather red faced

 

oh, how, how, how

could I possibly take my bow now?

even William Shakespeare himself

                                           would have died in shame  "again".

          • Teddy.15

            Fank you sir, I've missed you. 🌹

            • Doggerel Dave

              Yeh - been away for a few days. Writ late after coming home...If I'd had all me marbles could have gone all alliterative and added with rrrich, raunchy, rude, rumbustious.... but I didn't and so you didn't - but either way 'twas good fun.

              • Teddy.15

                I did say I missed you! LoL oh Dave, these days I really dooooo.

                • Doggerel Dave

                  Yes - MPS feels somewhat different to what it was several years ago - inevitable, I suppose (What has happened to Neville? If he doesn't show up soon I'm going to send a message...)

                  • Teddy.15

                    I have no idea. Oh no it's true though, all our friends absent. 😢 Good to hear from you Dave. 🌹

                    Such a grand love, inspiring and in this there is no shame. In the pronouncing of it or the acting it out no shame as well. And if rejected the shame on one who could deny such a love. As for the fall at the end, love is a fall and so they say falling in love. I too wish to have the shame of a Shakespeare. A most inspiring and wonderful write.

                    • Teddy.15

                      Well please help me get up then, these curtains are very heavy and dusty lol

                      Truly humbled my dear sorrenbarret as always. 🌹 Grazie mille. 🌹

                    • Goldfinch60

                      Super words Teddy. You can always arise from within that curtain and bow to us anytime and we will still applaud you.

                      Andy

                      • Teddy.15
