Poem Title

The Bed

Back

What secrets does this device of man hold?

What power has it controlled?

What joy does it give many lovers?

What sadness lies within its covers?

The secrets of life little understood,

Of birth of a newborn by womanhood.

The secrets of our soul's wildest dreams,

Keeps the thoughts in death of our schemes.

Power to create human life,

To control feelings filled with strife.

Power to allure the weak of mind,

To leave your conscious thoughts far behind.

Joy of love that passion awakes within,

To watch their slumbering warm skin.

Joy of hearing the sounds of intense pleasure,

Of knowing that you face the future together.

Sadness from lose of love and affection,

Of the result of scornful rejection.

Sadness that death brings to all who lie within,

Of things that might-have-been.
