Wicked Game

14/11/12 Nothimg hurts more than being left behind, drowning in your own enclosed puddle of plans and perfect times. I'll never be alone with him as my friend but I'll always crave his kiss

There's a stolen body from my bed

That used to dream of our sublime.

Of dancing shadows and a sweet surrender,

Between our hopeless bleeding eyes.

Around every corner, I see your ghost,

You echo but you're not gone. Yet.

There's a lost part of your mind,

That used to sleep beside me.

That melted my shame and sorrow with it,

Between our soft caress.

Around every clock, my conscience waits,

It breaks, but is it broken?

There's a taken piece of my tomorrow,

That remembers our sublime.

Of tender touch and pinky promises,

Between our honest tongues.

Around every minute, I see our chain,

Our time tested wicked game,

That's not over now.

Hi Willow
Hope the wicked game turns into fleeting , but
blissful surrender one to the other and not the dream.
Your poem is exciting and purposeful, it is interesting
and arousing in spots, but altogether gifted.
Thank you----- and please post your wriiting on one of
the groups.
Thank you

Unfortunately it is still yet to be resolved. Still in the midst of mind tricks and heart strings. Thanks for stopping by Eagle

this is cleverly descriptive and it made me reminisce some "ancient" sorrows and losses. strangely enough, the title gave this life simply for my love of music...you see, i immediately thought of the song by chris isaak...and it both soothes and torments me every time i hear it. therefore, this poem had that very beautiful and ethereal yet haunting quality... there is much more to you than poetry , my dear willow.... i am glad we have become friends...awesome piece.

Funnily enough, there is a Stone Sour cover of that song and not until I wrote this and titled it did I realise that it was a match! A beautiful song. I know what you mean, often we hear a song that pleases us and punches us in the stomach simultaneously.. I'm glad you felt a connection to this peace, it was one close to my heart though distant from my usual take! I'm glad we have too! Thank you for your review, highly appreciated as always!
