Don't Let Me...

by Simon Hayes   Aug 15, 2006


Don't let me suffocate
In this sea of broken dreams,
Choking on the illustrious moon
That illuminates so beautifully.

Don't let me stumble
Onto the thorns of your rose,
Where the silky petals
Stroke so gently upon my skin.

Don't let me fall
For my desires,
When no pillow lays beneath
Breaking the plunge.

Don't let me love you,
If this love is one sided.
My heart is frail.
Don't let me.

    This is really great. I thought you painted a beautiful picture of a truly fragile man wanting a love but not wanting to take that chance in case of getting hurt. Great job! 5/5

    ^ Beautiful. I'm a huge fan of romantic poetry; using nature to relate feelings of love and attraction. Great poem.
