Youth Spent (Free verse) by Bankrupt_Word_Clerk
peace resting on the leaf
dew 'vaporates off the edge
fog shreds apart under its
brilliant whiteness
yellow golden fair and light
smile sears into a man's skin
with a mellow hum of heat
and cold prickles when the
pores contract under the light.
We spend the morning
eating the rich, and laughing
at the unblemished joggers
Sun is gone. Night is upon us.
Your eyes catching and reflecting
luminous orbs of starlit wonder
dark skies press the light through
pinprick holes that I see in
your pupils when we are this
close together on the night lawns
of serious love.
Trapped inside of your vibrant gaze
my heart heaves and
twists at the twinge of love so clean
so void of emptiness
a love that soothes the fear
Of playing scrabble alone
lady of my youth,
For clinging to me
My undying gratitude for what you've brought
the bargain has been met--
the oath fulfilled.
