Bid On My Love, Ask If You Want
EDIT: In case I am breaking some rules of writing a couplet, I'd like to apologize in advance, this being one of my first entries on this site. Thank you very much!
Bid on my Love, Ask if you Want
A lonely heart, it lies sore
Far from the horizon, on the shore
Whittled by the tides, incessant as time
Bleeds slowly into the horizon, like the sunshine
Carve if you must,
Blow off the dust
Stab with a needle, bring it to life,
Then, my dear, will you be my wife?
Accept if you dare,
This person laid bare
The haunting of the past,
We'll hope it won't last.
For a utopia, we won't lust,
And a perfect world we won't trust
Past an injured present,
We'll look for a future pleasant
And care we will have only for the time,
Far as we can see, far as our headlights shine
And I promise, my dear, if it doesn't make sense no more,
I swear it'll lie back - quietly - back on the shore...
