A Sip of Love (139 hits)

Many waters can't quench love...neither can a flood...drown it

If you offered everything you owned...you'd be scorned and despised

To think that you could pay to buy it...when you find it

Then attempt to bind it's...wounds...at the sight of blood, many a beloved has swooned

For love is as strong as death...will offer it's last breath...without request

And at your birth, have no regrets...just a world left...with an orphaned child

Who'll never see his mothers smile...innocence's jealousy bound to run buck wild

In a hard core playground...where even crueler playmates abound

Working up a thirst...Lord knows, if you drink from this cup, your sure to get hurt

There's no woman or man walking this parched earth...that isn't dying of thirst

But love bears up under any and everything..empowers the weakling...the wild thing

Punch drunk on a inkling...just thinking...about getting a sip of love

Wonderful job! Use of internal rhyme, good rhetorical devices, and the achievement of rhythm (probably the most important requirement for any poetry) . . .
at the end of any work always put "Copyright, 2009. Cynthia Harley. All rights reserved. " It helps to protect original work, if such is the case.
