the us the we and other things

the us the we and other things

 

 

 

spit shine morale

without the shine,

just the spit

after we split

and the "us"

bit the dust.

 

a flurry of spiders dancing

moth balls prancing

from the wedding tux

to a heart in flux

i still hear our song

but old verses

cease to belong

 

memories stung by the glare

the "we" no longer there.

Oh my your muse has turned all rhymey.Now that's a rare thing. Sad memories of a failed marriage. Sounds like you've been in the loft of past memories Jacob. Good write.

WOW, a rhyming poem from you....a love that was special at one time. I feel the emotional pain in this one. "from the wedding tux to a heart in flux".....great line. Lydi**

The tale of love that once was but now is long past told in lovely word play and rhyming 'mischief' that made me smile Jacob.

[jacob erin-cilberto]
