Then And Now Poem by Robin Bennett

A world seemingly exquisite-
when seen through your eyes
raw elegance mingles
with passion in a tender surprise
carry me into the polished sun
until we sway under the
bleached out moon-
caress me through the lazy
hazy days of summer's tune

You filled my mind
with hope of ever after-
to bury our sins of ages past
spoken from your heart
was this the delirium at long last
seduced my trapped spirit
so as love explodes anew
was my love visible
through the portal
of my baby blues-

Caught between the
here and now-
uncommon nonsense
now replaces our vow
you were the one that
tossed me to the wind
Wrath consumed you-
now a demon of the sinned

When night begins
to blanket me-
and I shiver from loss
maybe faded emotions
will tumble and gather moss
I shall reach for you-
in my land of dead dreams
when it is all but a lie
and nothing is what it seems-
