Our Love was the Forest

Baylee

Our love

was the forest

growing and flourishing

over the centuries

 

But the forest

is like the plot to a story

the action can only rise so far

before it reaches its peak

 

The falling action ensues

and this is the blazing fire

which consumed our love

mercilessly

 

Leaving our beautiful forest

simply mine to bear

 

And I wait anxiously for the day

it will flourish once again.

    Baylee, using the forest as a metaphor for your love is very beautifull and fitting. As your forest/love grows it becomes stronger protecting from rain, wind, and even too much sunshine. It is sad when the forest/love burns down, but from and nourished by the ashes a new, maybe even much more beautiful forest/love will start to grow.
    You wrote a very wonderful poem. Thank you.

    Sooner than you think your forest will have flourished again. It is so beautiful to be young and have your heart available waiting for another love. Thanks for sharing your feelings.
