"Life without love is like a tree without blossoms or fruit."--Unknown
My love for you
Like a tree
Bearing fruit in the spring.
A blossom grows
Each new one promises more
than the first
More happiness
More life
A blossom becomes fruit
The blossom evolves even more
My tree, ever strong
With you at the base I know
nothing can go wrong
The fruit dies
What is going wrong,
For I still feel the burning in my heart for you
Every second
of every day.
Something is missing though
Something not right.
The tree dies
No more buds
No more blossums that fully
consume my heart
my life
my being
For where have you gone?
My life, my love.
The axeman chops me down
Here I go
Tumbling to the ground
Nothing left to support me
No one left to catch me
And here I lay on dirt
Slowly rotting in the soil
Waiting to die
My tree
and my love
is no more.

AWESTOMEFUL POEM, KT!!! IT IS AMAZING! I LOVE IT! AWESOME! I wish I could give you clappy men, but it won't let me. Great poem, though!

YAY KT!!! I really like the last stanza. As my ELA teacher would say, "This has nice repetition and alliteration." I like the one line between each stanza. Good job! (and yes, I am half asleep...not quite sure if anything I type makes sense anymore)

"so here i lay on the dirt" lol! i know it's not supposed to be funny but... "something is not right!" love the analogy!

insightful
very good and nice use of a metaphor.
the one thing i think would be cool to add if you want to is that the rotting tree makes way for other trees to grow and provides shelter for insects, and such. from death come life... -
