I CAN'T SIR

Contributed by boobiepeach on Wednesday, 6th July 2005 @ 04:13:20 PM in AEST
Topic: goodbyepoetry



I can’t be your rock sir
I know you don’t count
Rock has softened
And rolled away

I can’t be your strength sir
You ask in a subtle
The muscle is flat
It shrank away

I can’t be you white sir
Look with wide eyes
Grey shadows turn black
My light has dimmed

I can’t be clear water sir
Swim to me not
Murky liquid has pored in
Mud to thick to chew

I can’t be your warm sir
Fold your own arms
I can feel you chill
My cold has your name

I can’t be you high sir
Look up at my smile
Wondered how low
Eye to eye we are not

I can’t be your eyes sir
Watch you own hands
Blinded by love
Sees no way out

I can’t be your color sir
But lips hate me not
All shades and hues are dull
With no canvas of muse

I can’t be your life sir
For your nothing told me so
Dead words and actions
Buried your love alive

Nice concept Peach...I like this a lot. My only complaint, the grammar was a bit off in some spots...but a very enjoyable read nonetheless.
I really liked the third and last stanzas.

Very creative style, a bit difficult to read at first as I am unfamiliar with this type format....better the 2nd time through. It appears, to me, to address an overly dependent male in a relationship, just my take.

Bravo, for your willingness to experiment, peach

Well done

Will
