Comment: Trying a slightly different style. So this poem should be read quickly (it hopefully has momentum).


I feel it
I taste it
A change that is all I could want
A heart beat
A new heat
The seconds that pass I must count

An invasion
This persuasion
Whispers words I should never have heard
In dilution
A pollution
Which I vow, can not be returned

Taking chances
With glances
Caught in a moment unruled
Whilst others
Not lovers
Find I'm the one easily fooled

To be tainted
Freshly painted
Scenes that read like a book
Open eyes
See the lies
Am I wise to force a second look?

In this day
A new way
Which ends deeds done without heart
And I find
Peace of mind
For once to make a new start

The chase is
An embrace with
The one who has made this change
But starting
With parting
Events time desire to re-arrange

Make provision
Indecision
Conclusion is a chore to avoid
So I quote
Stay afloat
Empty words that are easily buoyed

Violent touches
The rush is
Something which beckons me still
Face you
Embrace you
A body that quakes for the thrill

At the end
Not a friend
The worry etched on your brow
So make it
I'll take it
And who is the tainted one now?

The End
