Click hereThose placid days of easy love are gone
Startled at the passion, you leapt away
To hide, not exactly scared but withdrawn
Unwilling to bare what love could betray
You fled across a gulf wider than the sea
Certain that distance alone would not suffice
To shield your heart, not give yourself to me
Knowing what was at risk, and the price
Was it an accident or by design
That you chose a place I could not follow
Religion and philosophy entwined
A barrier forged that left me hollow
Yet waiting for you to emerge again
Remembering what we’d had, and when

LeBrozover 16 years agoFlows so nicely and smoothly, yet when I got to the end I felt like you left me dangling.
Angelineover 16 years agoAlways a pleasure to read what people do with this form. Yours works very well and has some lovely images. I think the syllable count is off in a few lines (doesn't detract from the poem, but thought I'd point it out in case it matters to you). I also think punctuation would help the reader move through the poem, but that's also a smallish point. I really enjoyed the read. Thank you.
