Within the depths of the silky forest
The moon shimmers softly through billowing trees
Flirting stars wink and blink into an eternal rest.
I listen to the wispy breeze
The thud of my feet against the rich earth
I find myself lost within these simplicities.
Leaning against a graceful willow
Basking in a melodic peace
'Til deafening slithering motions louder grow.
I listen intently to the unfamiliar sound
The methodical sweeps dusting the earth
I listen to the intensity of my heart's rhythmic pound.
The moon's dim light glimmers in anticipation
Aching to see the darkness's mystery
Innocently awaiting this seductive temptation.
I listen to the advancing creature of darkness
The silence of the forest suddenly overwhelming
I listen to the sole noise - alone and powerless.
Slender, symmetrically colorful, he pulls me in
With cunning intelligence he seduces me
Drawing me in closer, my little sin.

He was wrong for me in every way that's right
But I miss him.
He and I were different as day and night
But I miss him.
He and I didn't fit together quite
But I miss him.
He was wrong for me in every way that's right
And I still miss him.

Opposites attract...each filling a space in the other...a void
that only they can touch. Lessons needing to be learned, but
coming only with pain. A price for the fulfillment of what we are.

I liked the poem, the descriptions were very well written. I don't usually read this kind of thing but something about it, maybe just the style used made me really enjoy it

I love this- not just imaginative, but so very descriptive. Very,very good writing. I could feel the words come alive, but it's something I, myself couldn't describe.
BEAUTIFUL. -
great ; )
very good and imaginative i liked how you structured i it reminds me of something i do when i write long poems -
My "Truck Dude" turned out to be a jerk.
I'm away at college...and sometimes I begin to miss him and I know I shouldn't. So I'm trying to keep myself strong until I go back home for winter vacation. Then we need to settle things.
He didn't even say good-bye to me when I left. No call, he didn't show up at the airport, hasn't even tried to get in contact with me. Plus other strange things he did...
You know what it's like when you're up close and the big picture really isn't all that big? You assume it's perfect...but when you step back, and you can see the big picture - oh, boy.
