Platonic Game

Rating: 4.3


Now you are bored and tired
Of this platonic game
But I don’t blame you, baby
Cause it’s my fate; it seems!

The partition of unbreakable glass
That keeps us apart
Reminds us how helpless we are
Every time we want to make love!

Now your love seems to fade out
Like your favorite dress
Worn in rough weather
Everyday!
And I know for sure
You are gonna throw it away

You lured me to come and play
But it went in vain!
All of my flying kisses
Have lost their way
Because of the difficult journey
Through desert, jungle and mountain!

It is a great poem. Sad because I could sense the desperation in your words for the plea of something real. Keep up the good work. Please comment on my new one, Imagination that became destiny

So you've been having a platonic love for a pretty long time, huh?
