The nature of language

Beneath the hidden lies

Are all deep inside

The minds of the innocent

That crawl under the beds

And deny knowledge of their

Meanings.

To grow is to mature,

To age,

To release knew energy

Through sources

That is slowly wearing away.

But, there are some

Forms of energy...

"What?" you say,"What forms of energy?"

Actually, my young boy,

There is only one

That I speak of.

It does not root

From the cells of your body.

It roots from the

Emotional heart

That glows beneath your

Skin, through your eyes.

That energy is what many

Call love.

It is energy, yet eternal.

Listen to me, for I will be eternal to you.

Listen to me, as my breathe will begin to wear away.

Why do you ask me to stay, when you know I will by fate?

Of course, you desire my physical appearance, my

False, mortal body.

But remember, while I am still young, still seventeen,

That my body shall not last centuries and neither will

Yours.

So take care that I am the only one you love, for

If your heart drifts away,

You'll never find me again

Once I've passed away.

I know, yes, I'm talking well beyond my age.

I watch you as you shake your head,

Your blonde curls swinging like ropes.

You deny my words.

Listen, my love.

I do not wish to harm you, you are too precious to me.

You know that life is too short.

Even five hundred years, and still too short.

Let our love pass for eternity,

Away from our physical being.

If lust is what keeps you with me,

Than my eternal being you are ignoring.

I am no philosopher.

But, heed my words,

If our love stays this strong,

If we will stay with each other,

Even after death,

Our coffins will stay invisible to us,

My love.

Listen to my heart...while I yet live.

Posted by rock2003 2008-01-04 18:23:30 .... it great -- the only thing is that you might want to make it clear who the speaker is talking to sooner in the poem. + Report this comment
Posted by chaabuk 2008-08-13 13:10:16 Attentive Why do I get this feeling that you want your lover to listen to you intently when she is focused elsewhere. You are trying to gain her attention while you are still alive. I hope she does. Liked it. + Report this comment
