Origami Dependence by *seussical-love:iconseussical-love:

Categories Literature > Poetry > Human Nature > Sonnet


We've paved our relationship with molten brick;
then tied our fingers against thunderstruck trees
while prudent street dogs spat selfish lyrics
and served lightly-salted soliloquies.

I cried starshine into your emerald arms,
so you could become the meaningful whisper I'll never hear.
I fell for faithless, plastic charms
in rooms that smelled like smoke, white oak and beer.

Our hearts became rocket ships tied to ribbons,
one crawling on an overstuffed belly; always too far behind
like the sons and daughters of Elias Fitzgibbons
who said we would wed us on Tuesday, that holy bind.

Wicked felt-tipped pens, forging "I love yous."
were like deadswept petals of blueish hues.

Every passing moment is another chance to turn it all around
but the further you fall the farther you'll fly.

While I thank you very much for the compliment, I'll have you know that my dear *IrrevocableFate penned that couplet. (:
