    retreat by dawn
    but love this bed
    this woman
    this body
    use this dawn
    for a blanket
    part with sleep
    accept this tomb
    I'm your lover
    moving like the seasons
    You say about me
    "She doesn't fight the clock
    her strength is
    her weakness is
    my lover"
    Welcome to this moment
    touch of goodness exits
    hanging evil in the hallway
    Lover, she knows better
    Drinking and drinking
    somedays coming
    No more witch hunt
    wearing wire as my halo
    Take care of your woman
    don't depend on her
    don't use her
    Wonder why there is no eternity
    make your own
    No music
    make your own
    We're only conning
    for better or for worse
    the cold dirty moon
    sends its thoughts
    and your back to
    the bed, the woman, the body
    you love...

    loved the vibe this one has... it has a calm, winding yet broken flow that's quite effective, great technique... enjoyed it thoroughly, thanks for sharing it...

    yummy lines

    Thank you fulmah. I appreciate your thoughts on it. This is one of my favourites I've ever written, I think. Maybe...

    I wish to have more comments on this poem. Atleast Bhaskar could poke his head in. :(

    i especially dig your description of the moon... not romanticized...

    reminds me of Plath when she said,

    "Then she turns to those liars, the candles or the moon."

    unconventional, untraditional... i love this well-taken risk!

    a lovely poem - it made me sit and linger on it for a while.

    I love the poem. I can't pick out dream lines, but it evoked a mood, sort pathos that spoke to me.
