Beloved (3rd Attempt At A Love Poem)

Rating: 5.0


you shake your hair
and my dreams fall
like arrows shot
from Cupid's bow
each one piercing
deeper and deeper
into my soul

I love you beloved

you are the water
that drowns
the vast desert
of my life
when we are apart

you are the fire
that burns
all of my regret
and indecision to ash
so that I may be born again

you are the air
that breathed life
into the piece of clay
that I once was

you are the soft
nurturing earth
that holds the roots
of the tree of our love
that we planted
from a seed
so many lives before

without you:

there are no dreams
there is no water
to satisfy the never ending
thirst of my love

there is no fire
to keep me from freezing
in my solitude

there is no air to breathe
the sweet breath of your love
into me and I am clay

without you beloved
the Earth is barren
and our tree slowly
rots and falls
from its stately heights
to the ground where mortals
march like ants

Together we were Gods
apart we are the forgotten dream
a condemned man
rubs carelessly
from his eyes
on the morning of his death

Oh...I never made it this far but I see you changed your tune. Hey you know what they say, if at first you don't succeed, then give up on love and stick to reality. I like the undertones here.
