Time stops as we hold hands in romance
Raindrops cease from hitting your delicate skin
Smiles that seem to last forever
Joyfull as I reminisce of what has been
Memories keep us together
But the present keeps us apart
Couples envy our stories of love
Our light that shined through the dark
Blind, no we never were
Therefore love was never blind
For my love for you would never hold true
If not for the essence of time
I will always cherish your light
That flushed out the cluttered dark
I hand you a key and an empty box
There is a reason why its empty
Cause you've always had my heart
I hand you a key and an empty box
There is a reason why its empty
Cause you've always had my heart
i read the poem and this part stuck out the most. its like the key was to his chest and its empty couse she has his heart. i really like how you bring life into your writtings. most pple are to cliche with poems on love. i know cause some of mine are! but you made this one different from all the others....maybe that is why it got my attention! good work.
Absolutely phenomenal. My only qualm would be that the last couplet doesn't seem to flow quite as well as the rest of the poem. Still, a great read - and you invoked emotion, which is what poetry is all about, eh?
