GEEK
TRAGEDY
stood I,
silent by the window
the stars above,now
swing into view
they burn so bright
but how, they are few
my tread was silent
no shadow behind me fell
visage of no concern
you would not know me well
doors all silent on a hinge
unbidden was how i came
but hear,this i would confess,
that mine heart is clear of sin.
So stood I before her bed,
a pale neck exposed,
covers over skin,so spied
a damning alluring sheen.
her hair is splayed out over
a pillow like a river in darkness,
the wind tugs at those strands
twirled about an unseen finger
what form of creature should know
how i am suffered to linger.
I watch those sealed eyelids
and imagine the sights within
something gnaws at my heart
as I stand mere inches apart
from my living breathing dream
Pulse quickened
I reach out a hand
for the flower i would
with my life and hopes to tend.
I reach out a hand
it slips through my fingers
like grains of fine white sand
okay...er...dont ask me why its 'geek tragedy',i have no
idea.
