like a lover's rose,
imprisoned within forgotten pages
of a once read classic,
memories of former paramours
dwell in the graveyard of
wrecked romances
victims to suicide of
fractured dreams,
pressed between pages of
soothing reflections

Excellent
The comparison of a Rose has deep meaning for everyone,especially in the one who received it and the one that gives it!
Well done

Perhaps 'the third time's the charm' for me. Wrecked romances are not easy to forget but as you imply... life goes on. Your poetry speaks to me on a deeply personal level.

This is such an amazing poem. The sheer feeling of pain, misery yet beauty just seeps through the words that flow across the page here. Each line is so emotive and moving, it left me literally frozen in place. I really don't know what else to say… this is just absolutely amazing. You have a wonderful talent. Good luck in the contest.

The imagery so carefully written into the lines above is nothing short of amazing. I adore this piece for the emotional spillage it provides as well as the story it tells. You have a first class poem here all the way. Good luck in the contest.

Melancholy but! Laced with fond memories as well. Soothing is the way you can look back in retrospect. I loved the way this read! Class all the way!

This piece tells of emotional scars left from ill fated romance well. Sad,sad thing. And those strong high points do have a habit of reverberating in memories deeply embedded.
