Candles in Time

Love is lost through a mirror of time passages
A heart is strangled in the heat of passion
What once was tenderness is now a deadly game
What used to be truth is now sheltered shame

There was a time when love was given with grace
Fooled by illusions now sex takes its place
What used to take time to create and a need to care
Takes no more than a drink and a body to bare

Taken over by sexual temptation
An act of love becomes just a situation
To whom it is made is irrelevant
As long as it is made love may stay distant

But on a long and lonely night
It is shame’s candle burning bright
Until true love’s candle is lit with honest desire
Any spark that may occur will never be fire

Hi EagletonDiva, and welcome to passions.
Your poem is very pretty and so very sad.

this was thought provoking, sad, but a lesson learned....we've all been there
