Love Lies Bleeding
by Tony WhitakerShe walks into the room
Both consumed in the want
With ten years gone
Not once seeing the other
We are still in love
Anxious trembling bodies
Wrap greedy arms around
Each others
Parasitic bodies
and screaming minds
Relieving the ache
From need
To abandoned want
We make love as though
Our last day on earth
Desperate trembles awake
A passion of years
Finding release
From chains
Of time and distance

| Posted by Chris Sorrenti on 01/11/08 at 07:23 PM One of those poems I think we all can relate to in our own way. I especially like the third stanza Tony. The title reminds me of that epic song, Funeral For A Friend...Elton John...Good-bye Yellow Brick Road. |
