More Snippets of Love

[Biggus]

FINAL KISS

Love has died in you
But my love for you is vast
I think this good bye kiss
Is bound to be our last

MERCIFUL RELEASE

Now has come the day
When my love must sail away
Upon a morphine sea
You drift away from me
And you breathe your last
As pain releases its bitter grasp

UNDERMINING

Our love, once sturdy
Like granite against the storm
Has been eroded
By elements of distrust
Unspoken discontents,
And bitter jealousies
Corroding like acid
Doubts and suspicion
Growing like cancers
Until they become the terminal
Silent killers of love

LOVE IS THE SPICE OF LIFE

Love is the magical
Ingredient, seasoning an
Ordinary existence

IN AND OUT

Outside I was cool
Detached, laidback
Appearing indifferent

Inside I was in
Torment, twisted by jealousy
Envy and bitterness

GIVING OVER

I gave to you my heart
I told you, you could take it
I knew that I could trust you
I knew you wouldn’t break it
You gave to me in return
Your own precious fragile heart

OF THE HEART

You gave to me all your love
And as a means by which to measure
You gave to me your heart
Which I will always treasure

RELUCTANT LOVE

You gave to me protection
Like shelter from a squall
You made me feel important
Not insignificantly small
You made me feel safe
Never vulnerable at all
And though it took time
For me to eventually fall
I love you so much now
Like a puppy loves a ball

Mr. Dickus,

The concept of little 'snippets' is intriguing and always has been. But the content is so overdone and the rhymes too familiar. Ultimately your snippets work far better when you use humor- its downright distracting to read about the death of one's love in such elementary form.

However, there are portions that for some reason may become stuck to one's mind. I'm particularly thinking about the first four verses. They may appear as common at first sight, but there's a meaning in them, I think.

Well thank you both for your very differing viewpoints.
