Plumbs and Peaches

nair36

When you hold my hand you tell me to hush

Then you look me in my eyes just to stare

May be just the breeze whipping up a rush

Or maybe you’re just unaware I care

Plumbs and peaches an ample august lush

To which or whom may see behind my hair

Before and after gazing your long view

I first wonder what I’m doing with you

 

Secure then thieved as a priceless pure gem

Just how many times before were you there

What is useless others will cause condemn

Generations of the shallow beware

Splitting down the middle of a sour stem

Plumbs and peaches this time around a pear

What or how or why the things I may do

The outcome either be one or two

 

All hope was lost, all memories erased

We were caught unguarded, could not prepare

Would you keep them if they could be retraced?

Even if a united flame would flare

Plumbs and peaches couldn’t be replaced

Neither could the closed lids behind my hair

Close your' eyes as if you were suppose to

Promise opening you’ll remember who

 

False to a truth one eventually hears

Not all that was written in text is fair

Tossing the scissors to sharpen your shears

Foreclosure we both will elude ensnare

No longer no more shall we trust your ears

Plumbs and peaches this time forget the pear

When I further laying in my casket

Do me a favor burn a fruit basket

      Much thanks. I sort of fell off touch with my poetic side.

      La, are you active elsewhere or only here? I rather miss you now that I've checked in for a moment and read this. I could almost half return to recapture the fun lost two years ago now, excepting I still struggle with the memories that make this an empty playground for me. That said, I absolutely love this! Lovely end-rhyming as ever and decent flow, the delicious scene of romantic intimacy too winsomely rendered and endearing as the speaker opens his heart, which I only hope she reciprocated. Thanks for sharing. Hope all's well.

      ttfn,
      Jenny
      By the by, you know I'm active on Poetfreak.com instead of here? I'd love to have you there since I hang out there, excepting its a rough environment, though friendly.
