Passion's Fire ...**

 

Passion's Fire...

Wandika 2-7-2007

 

 

I keep the fires of passion low

For they don't serve me well

Just move along so very slow

So few see where I dwell

 

There was a love, a fiery flame

Who fanned the sparks till white

Our days and nights merged and became

The sweetness in delight

 

But it was just a wicked game

One she did play with me

For when it came to laying claim

She left me then to flee

 

Oh such is love, its hopes, its dreams

We live for such as those

Such pleasantries now nightmare's screams

You might be one who knows

 

Were days long past, thought of escape

But they have flown from here

As many thought to then berate

Some ones I thought were dear

 

My heart cold now with many scars

So damaged from my run

Others I've read, of their memoirs

Embrace a strong bastion

 

So now I languish on life's vine

And wait my final end

I see no reason anytime

To even touch a friend

 

Live out my time ‘till clock runs down

There nothing to be said

I smile and walk but inside frown

With nothing more to dread

    There are people that come into our lives, we love, and we lose and we never forget. The pain becomes overwhelming sometimes but we forge ahead. This was such a sad piece.
    Thank you for sharing a part of your heart.

    beautifully written

    there's a sadness and a reality to this write. Over the years, we expend so much energy to love...hoping that it doesn't fade out and turn into embers...this is very well written...smile...David

    This is very sad Jim. The heart is such a fragile thing and when it is offered to another it should be cherished and not toyed with. People do not realize the power behind the words, "I love you", especially if they are not truly meant. I think oftentimes people say what they think we want to hear or what will get them the response they wish to be fed without any thought of the damage they may cause the other. You've poured a lot of heart into this one my friend.

    At first I was ex[ecting a very slow buringinlove poem, one that would rage. You definately caught me off gaurd with this. Your spiral pulls the reader down into the embers of your words.

    Much enjoyed

    I think that I know of who you are talking about and well it is always nice to be able to write our feelings. It helps a lot to be able to do that.
