*This poem is not my sentiments from today, it is merely another point of view*


Rotting petals now surround
The "rose of love" I thought I'd found
A sea of thorns with blackened face
And nothing but an empty vase

My heart now weeping on this day
Watching ashes blow away
And in their place a crator lies
Because he said "Love never dies"

i really like this poem. the way you described the blown away ashes and the crater really made me think about broken promises and loss.

I'm an old lady and don't belong here, but can't help commenting on the beautiful imagery in your writing.  Keep up the great work.

Very poignant and sad.  Exellent way to flip around our thoughts of valentines day. I'm  impressed.

lyricfetish: you express with eight simple lines all my deepest fears... so.. stop it!!... no, honestly i think this is an exquisitely written poem and a very intriguing idea... i think you accomplish this with grace and skill... very good job  

sincerely,
jerome the melancholy priest

 Disarm you with a smile
And leave you like they left me here
To wither in denial
The bitterness of one who's left alone

Wonderful work! The meter is solid and the poem flows from the first word to the last. The imagery is well done and you complete your theme in few words. Very nice work.
