I loved you with a fire that would not be extinguished-
with a fury that could not be contained
My heart was full of faith and wonder at every word you said
and my passion was brimming over beyond measure.

But over time your careless words spilled out
and stifled the flame that once burned so bright
The careless actions of someone so secure of his hold
on a heart, lead him to believe he was invincable

That that the gaze of his lover could not be broken.
And the kiss of their lips was to be unmatched for eternity.
But alas, one day too much damage was done
And the flame was totally extinguished and the love vanished.

Thoughtless deeds and careless words stole the breeze
that carried love in - and the hot dry air consumed all life
Til everything lay dry and withered on the ground
The crispy crunch as it was trampled underfoot

By the very two entrusted with its care-
And the Angels cried because what began as a beautiful gift
was now a remant in ruins with no caregiver
and no life remained, now to become dust in the wind.

Through what others have shown us of their truth, WE find our own abilities to forgive. and grow.
Very beautiful poem Tress, and keep on writing!!!!

Beautiful!

I write too, and I just wanted to say that I really like your poem.

And here is one of mine........

Birdie

Last spring i met a birdie
A handsome little thing
He landed on my desk top
And I listened to him sing

We enjoyed each others company
Like Lida and her Swan
But Spring has turned to Summer
And now my birdie's gone

I let my darling fly away
To search for better things
I should have used a tether
Or broke his ****ing wings

Thank you all for your sweet words of encouragement...
and thank you to "Queen" for sharing your cute rhyme.

My love to you all
