    Love's Coffin

    Love’s Coffin

     

    From the blackness you appear

    Freely wielding pain and fear

    An evil angel fallen from grace

    Prey hypnotized by the beauty of your face

     

    Another shall find eternal death

    As your kiss seductively steals their breath

    Jagged teeth hidden by your smile

    Temptingly disguising your cutting guile 

     

    Midnight dance with the dead

    To lure me into a devilish bed

    As I swore my love my soul was lost

    Vainly unaware of the cost

     

    You captured me without a fight

    Now all that was will never be right

    I strain to reach you as you pass

    Imprisoned behind blood stained glass

     

    How did I end up in this coffin’s jar

    Wondering who I am and what you are

    I beg for my blessed release

    Knowing immortality brings no peace

     

    My life’s chamber drains of air

    Your laughter mocks me in despair

    Shriveling I disappear from the light

    An undying victim of the night

    Thank you - love can be dark ==== and some passion can be beautifully dangerous!

    Don't know what to say to that comment - except that I am grateful and humbled.

    Poetry is not an expression of the party line. It's that time of night, lying in bed, thinking what you really think, making the private world public, that's what the poet does.

    Allen Ginsberg (1926-1997) U.S. poet.
