~EXpir'd Dance

A Poem by Frieda P

untimely teeming downpours,
     my tears slid down your cheeks
as your heart bled unto my soul
    without concessions revelation's pulse,
alas, beating eyes speak in disclosure 
    proclamations etch'd in blood
envelop'd the yielding surface skin
    strapped to a behindhand'd watch
that read a confession of surrender
   at quarter past indignity and 
half past sinful indulgences
   rollback was warranted
but time had earlier run out
   faith expired on the second hand
dance end'd when the music laps'd
     love died an untimely death

...whilst the band play'd burning violins

Time dripped into the bottom of the hourglass at the same speed in which the rain poured, the tears fell, and the heart bled and dribbled down, only to have your lover realize far too late and try to fix things that can be repaired no longer. I quite enjoyed this one; it's a clever take on the hourglass concept presented uniquely with a metaphor twisted in delicately . . .

Love it. It's really emotional. Only issue is lack of caps. But in just picky. Good job, friend!

Thanks muchly Bri.
A very innovative yet sad piece. I loved the analogy of love's end to a clock. Wonderfully done!

Thanks so much Gleb.
Comparing a relationship to a clock. A relationship that has gone cold. Just like the clock that lapsed. Its beyond repair. It crossed that time or place or point of no return. Relationship is complicated sometimes just like the mechanism inside the clock. Once damage through neglect or mishap its too costly to repair and too valuable to replace ... Beautiful piece Ms Frieda ..thanks for sharing

Seems to me, it's always about timing, thanks for your insightful words Neil.
God, Cohen is such a f*****g genius. You aren't too bad yourself. The end of love.... I just wrote a poem about that myself. Nicely done btw.

Hmmm, I guess a few have been in these dancing shoes Travis, thanks so much.
Ah, to "rollback" and understand all that went before the death of a relationship... You write with an eye to both harsh reality and wishful fantasy, Frieda. I love your word choices.
