Love Reborn

Pain burns

deep within me

overwhelmed by longing

I drown in an endless sea

alone in the vastness

of time and space

with no one to hold on to

to rescue me

 

I float aimlessly

through a boundless universe

A lone soul encapsulated

in a pain that just wont go

 

A speck of light that glows

in a consuming darkness

A heartbeat of

life that struggles to grow

 

Then a flicker of hope

begins to break through

from my cocoon of darkness

I finally see you

 

The warmth of love

fights to be reborn

The breath of the spirit

reignites my soul

 

A scream escapes me

a warrior cry

Determined now to live

refusing to die

I break forth into freedom

with the power to fly

I drown in an endless sea
alone in the vastness
of time and space
with no one to hold on to
to rescue me

i really like these lines, most of your poems have this sweet pattren of starting gloomily and slowly find the light! hopfuly you found yours, maybe one day i'll find mine.
great poem.

You carry such an air of dispair, contorted with brutal determination.
Never let anything keep you down.

[Carolann Dowsett]

Thank you so much.

Rebirth; death of an old love and birth of independence which will lead to a new love...perhaps. Great one!

...I see it, the Spirit of Love Reborn...:)
"Shall it be that I too, holding love so dear
should kindle the flame of hope ."
...Beautiful as ever my dear friend...you embrace hope as a long lost friend.

[Carolann Dowsett]

Thank you so much. :) Yes without hope we would be lost indeed.

[Carolann Dowsett]

Lol I love your verse, very fitting :) Dancing is good, I love to dance :)

[Night]

...then I shall dream of a dance with you fair lady...:)

[Carolann Dowsett]

dance together in our dreams
to the sweet melody of eternity
until the daylight comes upon our hearts
to steal our dreams and make us part :)

Or something like that hehe :)

[Night]

...till mornings light your love I hold
a dance of hope, a love untold.
once more I hope of love so sweet
when once again, in dream we meet...:)
