Tom and Viv poem

[macdaddy]

I was inspired by Miranda's performance in Tom and Viv and decided to write a small poem for her.


So unbalanced will my life be to me
Memories of us parting at sea.
No ill will will my temperament bear
Your words gather mine and keep me safe there.

I can hear myself speak, moment in this
Do I disgust you, after only one kiss?
I promise to be better if only you'll speak
Talk to me now for my future is bleak.

Ten years will fall without dancing and games
Seven years free from insanity's names
Beautiful boy with such shallow eyes
Celebrity smiles, oh women and lies.

Lover's betrayal consented by wrong
Religion has baptized your life growing long
Circles keep face by dismembering their young
To rid me of pain, I'll breathe through my tongue.

You sign your name and secretly mine,
Recognition too great to share in a line.

aww thanks guys! I'm glad you liked it! It was great watching the movie, because we were reading the play August: Osage County and there are sooo many parallels between the mom and dad and Tom and Viv!
