Once there were...
   No limits to my dreaming
   No boundaries to my ambitions
   No love I could not possess

Some fire raged within...
   Volcanic and seething
   Nourished by success
   That only at intervals could rest

Each day another test
Each idea challenged beyond compromise
Critics only shadows, empty voices that
came and went.

Then I lost a love I thought I had owned
And tried to conquer life - myself alone
Age came crashing into youth
Leaving me lost in fears I'd never known

So here I stand repentent in my demise
Consumed by shadows where my ego and heart hides
I can find no cure for the sins against what
once was me
Just fresh wounds healing - not so naturally

Now I find...
   What once was, is just an illusion
   What could have been, never was
   What happened to me, was not having you

So now I'd like...
   To inhale your fragrance
   Maybe laugh with a smile
   Give a flower life
   Love like a child

Then again there would be no limits to my dreaming

Age crashes into youth...tell me about it.  Why does complication destroy the simplicities of the world seen with younger eyes?  Embrace that fire, fuel that ambition, though everything piles on we can still love like children, and laugh just as easily.  You write wonderfully, and I don't think I need to say that found a connection to this piece.  Thanks!

System---
A striking piece here- full of reality checks and course alteration to try and get back on track,Hope you do--not quite the same as before- because times change & people change--if all works out iiit may be better yet!  Good Luck,  David

To put together words & rhyme--and touch a life--is so sublime! Thank God for such precious contact! (D.L.White)
