Carved Into Trees

samishere

I'll always remember the day I met you

Clouds filled the sky but in my mind

citrus gold splashed into our eyes

The first glance - the awkward pause

I woudn't change it for the world

 

Never had I fallen onto such soft ground

An addict, chasing that first hit

The purity, the ecstasy

 

Now, when I see you around

you smile but I don't recognise you

All I see is past turned present

An end of an era - a splitting of a soul

 

Fearful of scenes to follow

I hide away

I could take on the world

But you stole my pride and left my heart 

without a second thought

 

With names displayed to the world

Our tree begins to wilt

  • BRIAN & ANGELA

    WELCOME SAMI - For a very elegant first poem. Love the free verse flow and the fragmented stanzas. 5 3 4 5 2 lines which suit the topic fractured love. The structure of a poem should always reflect the subject. Satnzas 1 & 2 celebrate the Joy of unconditioanl love the S 3 "end of an era !" S 4 So so sad ~ stolen pride and empty heart. S 5 I have carved names on a tree and they remain to this day but the tree (like our love) has wilted. I CAN empathise - Thanks for caring BRIAN
