Once upon a time I was drawn

Once upon a time I was drawn

To a light of a kind unknown

Revealed only in the dim of the night

True witness of a miracle

Leaving me breathless as beauty

Was softly calling upon me

A secret so preciously brought

A jewel pure and vulnerable

In a box that unfolds with trust

As love is weaved and truth whispered

When two souls lighting up in gold

Alter the color of the world

It was the brutal light of day

The rhythm that takes us away

That steals our eyes into the fog

And wraps a cage around our hearts

That makes us flee as one hopes to escape
The violence of the world

The more I reached the more you ran

And just one morning you were gone

Eaten away by a ferocious fear

And I could never again have you near

Cause it was wider than your hopes

And stronger than your dreams

I’ve looked in your heart for a breach

My hands got lost trying to reach

But at night I squeeze my eyelids

Like a child wishing for a dream

To unfold this treasure again

So I would never love the same

I wish I’d go back to that room

When we were all precious and bloom

And I would sleep there forever

Melt in fusion into one another

And I would take your hand in mine

Until the end of time

Poetic completion...each verse an expression of the movements unseen, within the mind, within the beating heart, finally the being is made at one with a transcending spirit that surpasses reason. You have a poet's sensitivity to the finer elements of pure emotion.

Time has a cruel way of changing things, fear a way of stealing things. Love is like a fire, it burns brightly until all it's fuel is gone, then it flickers and slowly burns out. No two fires are ever the same. I liked the flow of this write, smooth and easy to read.

I find this piece elegantly exquisite.

I sense a new life, precious and innocent, going through the trials and tribulations of a life unknown.

I honestly look forward to experiencing more of your work.

I liked this one, however I didn't find it worth the warning of "If you read only one of my poem..." I have written many that I am proud of the way that they turned out but would never dare to guide my reader's hand to on poem over another. Beauty is in the eye of the beholder, and just because you like a piece of work in your collection does not mean all will. Over all I thought it a sad poem about lost love, and liked the read.

This is beautiful. Emotional without being "edgy" or overly so. Very nicely written.

EMOTIONAL. I really had to type in those letters in caps lock. Your poem was a combination of simple innocence and knowledge concerning heartbreak and yearning that was anything but innocent. It was intense and soft at the same time. An amazing write that shares a story about love and regret.
