Ode to a Pillar

Today I professed my undying love to a pillar. Yes I'm random but I needed a break and wanted to make me laugh. So without further ado I give you...

Ode to a Pillar

Your beauty astounds me

There you stand tall and upright

A pearly marble column

Engraved with words of truth

From the door to paradise

A gleaming beacon of stone

You tower over me

Silent and serene

Never returning my love

My heart breaks with sorrow

As there you stand

Heartless and unmoving

As if made of stone

You ignore my plea of passion

And the words I whisper at your base

As I prostrate myself before you

Smooth as silk

Yet cold as ice

Unaware of my existence

You carry on

A sentinel over the seven hills

And rolling grassy valleys

Your Corinthian splendour

And slender fluted width

I long to run my hands

Over your weathered flanks

To softly kiss your noble base

And ornate acanthus leaves

I’m filled with a pantheon of passion

As I kneel before you

And cry out my undying love

And mutter sweet nothings

At your feet
