Day and Night
The unrequited yearning
Aching with burning
As days abound keep turning
It twists into deepened hurting
Becomes fruitful in its wording
And with celestial flirting
Develops dreams that are vivid
Lustful, sweet and livid
In this bounty you prove driven
As I cry all is forgiven
Even with my entity slightly riven
I accept what is given
As we break the glass
Trying to loosen the grasp
Read the rest of the poem Show less
Of the hand that turns the clasp
Breathing in a weary rasp
My heart wallows in the past
Of days that will everlast
When your mouth fed mine
And lingered elsewhere for a time
In full force you were thine
With honey and with brine
And of all beauty we did find
A palace in our minds
For the soul was just asleep
It did not flee or weep
But held tightly to its keep
And bare itself at our feet
In a brightly woven heap
Of love with fury deep
And we claimed it as one
Together to never be undone
Delivered in the birth of sons
To compare, there is none
Through day and night we run
Into the horizon of life's setting sun.

"Hip-Hop. I can appreciate the rhyme, as I am a essentially a rhymer myself. The rhythm is what throws me off. I think that the continuity and logic is consistent and makes a good work. If you want it to sound more like…" -

About Me
About me
I live in the deep south of the USA. I am a happily married mother of twin boys. I love to write and have been since I was 10. I am currently working on several chapbooks of my poetry and short stories. I am blessed to have people in my life who have always supported my writing and creativity. I love to read and discuss poetry with others. I hope to be able to share my work here and meet others who share the same love of writing that I do.
