Poem Artwork


Stay, and I'll sing you a song
The song surging through my veins
A song about the raging fire


Stay, I'll not keep you long
I'll sing to ease your pains
just enough to take you higher


Stay, though you know it's wrong
to listen to lilting refrains 
from one who is only a liar .

an interesting, skillful write, Roger. for those tuned-in, the echo of a liar's song would be most distinctive...
peace,

Being a liar, I understand. I imagine that's not good. If I sang to anyone it would be enough to drive them away.

so its best to refrain from the song that is sung with no melody for its refrain will only leave one sounding empty ...

i like the unique impact of this poem, Roger ...

I read this slowly 3 times, Roger. Each read created a fully developed scenario, entirely different from the last, until I reached that last line, the chilling impact.

The simple language suggests that it is straightforward, literal. Why, then, did the word "enigma" pop into each of those scenarios? The language, I think, is a buffer for what is hidden behind the words... yet, it feels like that expression "hiding in plain sight."

It's inside... but I can't seem to say it. katy xox

Awesome write, Roger. What we won't do to share a few moments of companionship with someone we have feelings for. We have a hidden agenda, to be sure, though we hope we are not overly transparent.
Take care,
Sherry

The graphic matches the words to a T!;-)
Is it wrong to listen to the song of one
who is only a liar? Should I try;-)...
