Lamentations of a player

Ma Cheri,

What if I tell you?

That the flowers in

My mind

Grow green

When you come.

And the words

Out your pink lips

Makes the reeds blush.

I sing as your

Presence flows past.

Would you run?

And say those

Are the words

Of a masterful player.

Your antecedence go

Ahead of you

Like an echo in

The plains.

I mourn for me

For the lies I have told;

See the truth is stronger.

It is crippling as

It is soul-stirring.

See what telling it

Has caused.

It has beaten me

To the curb.

Weak and stricken

Blood is all over me

like salt

In a stew.

My overtures are

Rejected.

True feelings

Are profound,

They are clear

As darkness.

The more you hide

They fail you by

Sticking their signs

All over your body,

You stutter; you blush,

Your heart beats faster

That’s love.


But you are paid back

For all the scorn

You have dealt.

Nice poem as usual. But should a player be lamenting? Just brush it off, lol.

Lol. About to be converted player. But just plain Lamentations is good as title. Thanks Myne, you are a gem.
