Temperance

Contributed by Channing on Monday, 26th September 2005 @ 06:40:12 PM in AEST
Topic: DarkPoetry

Each time the shovel strikes
A memory stabs my mind with spikes
Of a past love which was so great
In the end it had a horrible fate

For I had much temperance
Yet she had drank too much
Temper took and overpowered
Her jaw moved in a way such

That my wretched fingers made a move on their own
They reached for the throat with a moan
She struggled, fought, and gasped for air
In the end she fell in despair

I finally realized what I had done
My temperance turned to an ill temper
I thought that I should run
But could not leave her, for she was my love

If only she hadn’t drank so
The argument wouldn’t have been so low
As to make my mind forget
The love we shared and kept

For now I lay her in the ground
I aim the gun to my eye
Then will come the sound as I take this round
Alas I will float so high, as to meet her in the sky

-Channing-

Poetry is much like a great photo, a single "moment in time" capturing many feelings and emotions. Yet, they are very alive; creating stirrings within the readers who form visual "pictures" of the expressed emotions within the Poem. Â©
