Peasant The Poet Aug 2019
A second can be forever,
but forever is seconds with you.
Elapsing fast, rushing past,
over before I even knew.
Peasant The Poet Aug 2019
Salty streams,
despairingly flow;
watery wisps,
glimmering glow.
Tumbling tears,
an iridescent code;
seeking a solution,
to this emotional erode.
sad cry emotion love water
Peasant The Poet Aug 2019
Willow tree woeful tree,
leafy lament
sweetly sways
billowing and bent.
Tearful tresses
a crowning tent
weepy whispers
windy wishes sent.
Peasant The Poet Aug 2019
Roses are beautiful,
but even more so dead;
weak and wilted,
not sad but misread.
Peeling petals,
reflective red,
sanguine silk,
a bittersweet bed.
Peasant The Poet Aug 2019
If I were a clementine,
Would you unravel me in a single peel?
Strategically stripping,
With artful appeal?
Plying ploys,
A ring-like reel,
Meticulous membrane,
Devised reveal.
Peasant The Poet Aug 2019
Coyly capsulated,
Peel and pry;
Eager to unravel,
Encouraged to try.
Splitting skin,
Surgically apply;
Enigma extraction,
Sweetly sly.
Peasant The Poet Aug 2019
Once upon a wonder
You must’ve known me.
Unfamiliar familiarity,
Straight through me you see.
To you transparent,
My mind a sieve.
Surprisingly apparent
Reluctant for you to leave.
