A girl in virgin white
An intangible essence
A trembling creature
Wantonly pure
At the nuptial altar
Bearing passions blush
Blooming on her cheeks
Belying her innocence
Her thoughts
portraying
Through lustful overtones
The girls growing want
Then without regret
A kiss preludes
Innocent stripped
away.
And a woman remains
Are you wearing a boiler suit?
Well it’s not the most
flattering wear
But it does have a
certain fascination as
I’m fascinated to know
what’s under there
There is knowledge I need to know
I used to know but I
since forgot
For example, why
doesn’t the glue
Ever get stuck to the
inside of the pot
Our love unravelled
Strand by strand
Until the splicing
That bound us together
Was undone
High above the ground
The hawks of deceit
are circling
As each bond of trust
is consumed
To leave us cast
adrift
As loves final embers
die
Like the immortal phoenix
Our mortal love
Is consumed by flame
And turned to ashes
But we are reborn
As separate birds
We were once inseparable
Soul mates incarnate
Held by an eternal
bond
As strong as tungsten
Yet soft as pure silk
I thought our union
Would last for ever
Even to the end of
eternity
But the bonds that
held us
Have disappeared
Like tears in the rain
