NaPoWriMo 2014 Day Twenty

Day Twenty

bones, twice, stolen, water, rocking, open, mess,
aches, bridge, sink, sway, limb, sharp

UNDER THE BRIDGE
Under the bridge I’d love to meet you again
But what a rotten mess I must confess
Though aches and pains cannot make me complain
You kissed me once you kissed me twice oh yes

Make no bones about it you will be mine
But when you read this letter don’t reply
Rocking back and forth in my arms next time
Under the bridge where jilted lovers cry

What is love if not stolen anyway?
And now’s the time for our love to be bold
The lies you told me once caused me to sway
Limb from limb sink or swim the water’s cold

My open arms are waiting for your love
Please don’t be sharp with me my turtle dove

  1. What a beautiful ode to that turtle dove..bridged can feel very empty when we are rocking alone and waiting underneath..tender writing on this Sunday

  2. What a delicious line "What is love if not stolen anyway?"

  3. There's something about bridges that are alluring to lovers. Something deadly as well. I'm trying to decide which is which in this poem. Meanwhile, good job!

  5. You rhyme quite well. You have more courage and patience than me unless they just come for you - in which case I cordially hate you.

  6. A plaintive cry - but was it heard?

  8. Somewhere, about half way through, I felt the jerk that told me this is not a love poem, but rather a promise of the karma kind. The unloving things you do will come back and be done to you. Which makes those final lines quite chilling.
