PostPoems Be Artistic. Be Creative. Be Inspired!

life abruptly woke me up
and sent me walking
across
'Love's Burning Bridge'
Happy Anniversary she silently said
no water below me did I see
no earth to either of my sides
could my crying eyes scan
just the once beauty of that amazing bridge
now crumbling before me in the buckle of its
flames
bitter am I?
no, not a bit
but nor does joy rise like a Phoenix in me
again
I am weary of the where with all that weighs down
any accompanying when
for what I thought was love
set that fire
and walked away
leaving it to smolder
unattended
with no credible expectation
for it to ever end
perhaps that is where the age old saying comes from
when stated that
even to this very day
she carries a torch for him
yeah I get that old saying
one hundred times over and in................
