    The Crocodile

    I watched you through the smoke,
    your soul dancing behind you,
    And from the look in your eyes,
    I knew it wasn't through.
    The embellished pain you were suffering
    hurt me worse than you could imagine,
    Stabbing me in the heart like a dagger;
    I knew I couldn't win.

    You twisted the dagger claiming oblivious excuses
    No matter how I pleaded and how I cried,
    I felt my heart
    And it died.
    Along with my hope and along with my dreams
    And still I love you no matter how I seem.

    So I watched you through the smoke
    with your charming smile,
    And I knew I was dead.
    You - the Crocodile.

    You shook my body
    And the life poured from within
    And with that my breath;
    I knew I would not win.

    So you are the victor,
    but it was worth the risk
    And that was the last time that
    Life and I kissed.

    what a great original idea you have here. you worked it well. would lose the "like a dagger" line because it compromises the uniqueness you have going but other then that i would call it an excellent poem.

    Life's vagarys as a kiss!

    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.
