Invalid Sunbeams

A Poem, my first on this site

 
Invalid Sumbeams

By: R.T. Volgate

Out of spite invalid sunbeams wake me;
the sun can’t make its way to health alone.
If I choose to rise and drive this patient,
should he be sick enough to go,
I would never let him change to my route;
the path was blazoned long ago.

Ethereal, Time is hungry and awry.
The morphing minute now at my heart chews,
but to him the taste is somewhat bitter.
“Sugar would make all right again!”
As life is not a cup of coffee bold,
sweets can’t stitch rifts between lost friends.

Alteration my portrait has sustained;
round my lips fold the smirks of grievousness.
Though airy shields of aegis do protect,
my heart of change does still stand
the lookout, my nesting crow, for life’s burgs.
I sow to reap in future’s land.

    The last line I liked very much.... (read more)

    Second stanza second line: My instinct would tell me to leave it as it would be spoken. I know yoda's really cool but putting words in a different order is only really beneficial if its to create rhyme or rhythm. Other than that good concept, imagination and language. Me like.

    Interesting, but my only problem is it didn't have much rhythm to it.

    Seems liek we've been getting a bunch of articles about tea and coffee, aren't we? I'm going to stay neutral on this one, but don't be discouraged just because one person doesn't vote on it.

The couch creaked as I leaned back into his arms. Gently, he pulled me closer yet and settled my torso against his. I tried to conceal the shiver that ran up my spine as his arms snaked their way around me.
A sigh escaped his tantilizing lips as he laid his head on mine, and he began rubbing his thumb against mine.
"See, this is was I was talking about before. We're ...
