My kindled heart

touched by thoughts

through echoing pain

kept aloft over our

none to blame

shred of hope 

just waiting there

what's leftover

the fact I care

camouflage 

a world away

loves sundering

your hideaway

breathing in your exhale

your softest part

taking in your reveries

my kindled heart

breathing in your exhale
your softest part
taking in your reveries
my kindled heart

A winsome and tender write. Beautiful expression.

[Frieda P]

You can feel the crunch of love being torn apart here...yet the light of hope is still left on. I really love the exhale.

[Rossen]

Thank you so much Frieda, glad to have your thoughts..

[Frieda P]

My pleasure, have heard the crunch before...

[KAREN]

Has softness to it, real romantic. Very touching, and flows good.

[Rossen]

Thank you for that...and thank you for reading.

[KAREN]

You're welcome!

Just one little spark can set the heart on fire, what a sweet little romantic poem.

[Rossen]

I love how poetry begets poetry....thank you Dale.

this is beautiful and i attached to it a certain way...

i have gone through three divorces...and mostly with that "no fault" clause..

but that seems a cop out...something happened...something caused it, from one of us or both of us...

and to start a relationship...there is a kindling...but both have to feel it...

[Rossen]

Romeo loved Juliet and she loved him... Romance only breathes loves unfulfilled desire...
Yes unrequited love grays the heart.. and your right... maybe...

[Rossen]

Thank you JC
