An experimental poem/lyrical.

I may never find another

Should I go searching every day

I can never be your future

So I try to push you away

Your dreams of love forever

Will lie dying or be killed

Though never once I promised

You can never be fulfilled

I’ll never see the reason

To raise a family

Please don’t ask the question

It’s just not good for me

We could live together

Through life’s merry dance

You may want to change sometime

And I won’t take that chance

I worry for your happiness

So I need to push you away

Please go find your perfect man

Before I break — and beg you to stay

    Oldster—>There’s a bit of dynamic tension going on here :->but for an experiment, this lyrical poem was technically good and your word choices were appropriate in sound, sense, and feeling.

    Elle says: Finely crafted – you have an ear for creating imagery when you write Oldster and in this piece..you have expressed very little and yet you have said so much i.e.this was filled with beauty and emotion my friend.

    Well expressed like it.

    Very moving poem. Great choice of words and rhythm x

    Style is that of a craftsman. The yearning was carried throughout the piece with the wallop at the end so well detailed. It tugged at the heart too. TX

    A moving poem oldster, and strangely quite close to home for me, so I suppose that’s why it seems to speak to me so well.

  • diamondpoet on Sep 25, 2009

    That was well done, and very emotional. Sorry I just getting around to reading your work. I’ve been a little self-absorbed. Thank you for sharing.

    I’m sure there are many people who feel the same way about relationships. Nice poem, Oldster.

    Great poem you old dog you. Reverse psychology gets the girl every time. You give yourself away in that last verse. Well done friend.

  • Kinkyvinyl on Dec 3, 2009

    I really liked this, especially the twist in the tale. Good flow too.

    Reminds me of this – If you love something, let it go. If it comes back to you, its yours forever. If it doesn’t, then it was never meant to be

    very moving~i can feel the ache to keep her in your poem, beautiful

  • Cynthia Cox on Feb 14, 2010

    I had to read this again. Being a lady that has been pushed away at times, you really need to share your art and love of life with your fans more often!
