The Aftermath.

just playing!

The aftermath.

when love

shot down

spiraling over

her stormy seas;

crashed,

love lost drowned

but hatred survived

in the life raft,

the aftermath.

the only survivor

rescued.

Your poem provides a discomforting and thoughtful mood, reflecting on the development of love in a rather negative way, when love turns into hate or other forms of felt and executed negativity. There's a certain kind of intelligence in your words based on experiences, I assume.

Thank you vanessa for your comments and dropping by. Yes i suppose we've all had some negative aspects with breakups, and the hurt. I actually based this poem on war of the roses movie which came up in conversation.

I see. Thanks for the little explanation. You're welcome.

tempestuous land skies and seas ... takes strong emotions to survive ..hatred being the most hated one of all :( glad you leave the end open ... your protagonist has a chance ... for myself i leave it with that glimmer of hope ...so that survival is not wasted and this heart you speak of has not survived at all ... always a good read here on you pages!
