Keeper of my Light
23 November 2016
Stealth dancing
Your shadow on mine
The twirl slow
The breath low
Abated sunken in teeth
Touch diffusing heat
Grasp my arm
Fend off from me harm
The days yarn
Needles work
Into my heart as they smirk
Un-assorted pairs
The eye stares
Into my bosom
The head spares
Grow me hairs
Of whiter melancholy
Love’s monopoly
Brittle game
The players like darts
Launching pad
Wicked fad
Flame thrower sprucing the ends
Hate makes no amends
In love’s sight
We sighed like children
Hiding toy
Breathing joy
Theft of innocence galore
Pile me more to store
Move the whim
From my bleeding shore
Bury dark
From the bright
Swirl out of my mind’s delight
Keeper of my light

damn you can write. I NEVER ever make a correction suggestion on a piece. HOWEVER, perhaps you would consider revising “Fend off from me harm” ? Something is “off” It is the only miniscule hiccup in your tempo of this very fine piece. Sorry, my OCD is acting up tonight, lol

I was kinda sorta kidding about the OCD. See, now I regret even bringing the correction up. Never do something you do never! lol
