I've felt my hopes droop when love walked out the door into another's impassioned arms. I've known the petals of daffodils to sag from weeks inside a dry vase. I've seen their withered parts fall on truth's linen fabric. I've watched how a pale lilac dress fades in the light of passing years. I know those limp and swollen eyelids held inside lonely nights. I've seen the Iris wrinkle up in heat to show the fragile lips of wonder, where the brief caress in silken touch retreats within wilted Love. © RH Peat 7/6/09 10:00 pm form 6 quatrains, 24 lines |

Poetry is not an expression of the party line. It's that time of night, lying in bed, thinking what you really think, making the private world public, that's what the poet does.
Allen Ginsberg (1926-1997) U.S. poet.
