Bid On My Love, Ask If You Want

EDIT: In case I am breaking some rules of writing a couplet, I'd like to apologize in advance, this being one of my first entries on this site. Thank you very much!

Bid on my Love, Ask if you Want A lonely heart, it lies sore Far from the horizon, on the shore Whittled by the tides, incessant as time Bleeds slowly into the horizon, like the sunshine Carve if you must, Blow off the dust Stab with a needle, bring it to life, Then, my dear, will you be my wife? Accept if you dare, This person laid bare The haunting of the past, We'll hope it won't last. For a utopia, we won't lust, And a perfect world we won't trust Past an injured present, We'll look for a future pleasant And care we will have only for the time, Far as we can see, far as our headlights shine And I promise, my dear, if it doesn't make sense no more, I swear it'll lie back - quietly - back on the shore... __________________________________________________ 5:57 pm IST, 28th Nov, 2015
