Misery Loves Company

Everlasting life,

Neverending strife,

Bestowed with just a kiss,

 

A life prolonged,

A woeful song,

Escaped through parted lips,

 

O' what once was,

This immortal buzz,

In death,would not be missed,

 

In the court of lies,

So long despised,

I hear a menacing hiss,

 

That those I hold dear,

Shall live in fear,

If I only had one wish,

 

But as my lovers breath,

Blows out with her death,

This curse, I bestow with a kiss.

you

you have a fetish with rhyme I can see already, the way your poe - try flows. It dips and dives, climbs back the hill. From that point on who knows? Mark W.

Misery indeed

Your immortal dance with death fits this peice well. It shows a hint of romance in a familiar style of simple rhyme. I did enjoy it, thank you.

Whether a poem uses rhyme or

Whether a poem uses rhyme or not is entirely in the hands of the poet. Providing the rhyme supports the overall rhythm [and doesn't detract from the meaning] it can add to the poem - as it does here. Mike "Bethlehem" by Meic See more of my art? please visit: http://www.flickr.com/photos/7911705@N07
