Stopping Traffic

Contributed by Merry on Saturday, 6th September 2003 @ 11:05:00 AM in AEST
Topic: Lifepoems

She walked through man made walls
And he followed her – breathing hard
Trying to impress on her – his worth
She was aloof and vainglorious
It only made him want her more
Together they could rule this town
But he could not pin her down
Make her promise to take him in
She led him on a merry chase
Caught with his tail between his legs
Just another dirty dog
But she saw a certain spark in him
And she could not deny those eyes
Once she decided to be with him
He filled her with his handsome pride
Lighting candles in the dark
Celebrating what they’d done
He put his trust in what he saw
She never meant him any harm
But pain was part of everything for her
Incorporated in her art
Until he could not hold on to her
As she danced across the boulevard
Stopping traffic

OK why out of all these least read poems do I happen to pick this one first???? It's fate! Hello, it's me....Lynnie. Whenever I saw the dedication I LMAO. And of course I read this poem with all the "vainglorious" and "merry" referrences and loved every minute of it.

Glad to see you have your prioritys straight. *wink*

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©
