Too Late For Target Practice.
By amoryblaine

What now ? Now that I am through
With hate ,with hope, with love and with you.
Spring and Summer gone's by without a smile
From those lips that I considered divine.
What now? Now that I understand
Your walk,your poise your gesticulating hand
Those whispers full of lovely decorated lies
Will it be hard now for us to say goodbye?

I have felt a shiver,cold but true
Many a times when I've held you
The beads of sweat  flowing down your neck
As we made love, as we made wreck?
Your sweet ,supple breasts gave me peace
It gave me warmth ,it provided me with release
What now? Now that you realize, you know
You love another and I must go.

We caught the arrow of love in time
Spotted the archer and told him of his crime.
What are we?creatures of the heart and head
To be played with, to be bled?
Simple tales of woe and hurt
Might leave you sad ,might leave u to convert
To tales of reality ,to tales of now
They too my love will leave you feeling a liitle low.

Surrender,to all that is within
Bad and good and bright and dark
For it is we that must choose
The journey that we must embark.
Single, even singular am I
Now that I know hate will never be mine
Her name eludes me,her scent remains
In this moment the archer has me in chains.

There are some nice touches in this and I particularly liked the last line. However, overall it didn't do much for me really - it lacked a bit of originality in my view. A bit too abstract maybe - I'd have liekd something a bit more concrete to pin some of the abstracts too. Not always essential but I find it can make a piece more powerful...
