Separation Soon Poem by Jonathan ROBIN

Separation Soon

Rating: 5.0


Stage stage succeeds to sunder what
Evolved together for brief while.
Page follows page till plain forgot
Are smiles that once breathed sunny smile.
Rage follows rage, cold first then hot,
As end awaits arrest, denial:
Trouble bursts, mends, petty plot
Intense unwinds to reconcile
One to one’s lot, destroys love's knot.
No balm spleen calms - scene volatile
Sheds shaky sighs when seen's babe's cot,
Or blossom, spring's pink forget-me-not.
One rage encaged until old age
No pages leaves for insane or sage.

Stage stage succeeds to sunder what
Evolved together for a while.
Page follows page until forgot
Are smiles that once caught sunny smile.
Rage follows rage, one cold, one hot,
As end awaits a stressful trial,
Trouble bursting bubble plot,
Intense unwinds to reconcile
One to one’s lot unties love's knot.
No balm spleen calms, scene volatile
Sheds shaky sighs for baby's cot,
Or sight of Spring forget-me-not.
One rage encaged until old age
No pages leaves for sot or sage.
