Upon this stone
I write my name in blood
I do this for the sake of love
For your love you did take
Upon this stone
My heart did break
No roses grow upon this stone
For the love and warmth
You now withhold
Thorns now take their place
For the tears coming
From my face
Upon this stone
I am wrapped in chains
I don't know if I can stand the pain
How to go on
I do not know
Shall I forever remain
Upon this stone
Upon this stone
Wolves eat my remaims
My body consumed
While my blood stains
They eat the meat
But leave the bones
Of the man that was once
Upon this stone
Upon this stone
I will say
Though I am gone
My love shall forever remain
Upon this stone

- Comment from author about the poem: This poem was written after a break up with my girlfriend at the time. I really loved and cared for her. So for a few days after I thought my life was over. The night of the break up I had this dream of being trapped on a giant rock in middle of the ocean. That is where the stone in this poem at first came from. Later a friend of mine was reading it and thought the stone represents her cold heart and that the wolves eating my flesh and the chains binding me were just metaphors

Ah, Love upon the sacrificial stone. A heart torn apart, coping through poetic expression, and we non-suffering readers are the ones are rewarded. Great poem. _ Phil A.
