"Foundation of Lies” We built on a solid foundation of lies- And then it all crumbled, much to our surprise. I know that I loved you, no doubt you loved me- But the dreams we were building just never could be. Like moths to a flame we were drawn by desire- Like Icaurus’ wings we were doomed by the fire. Regretting the day which first greeted our birth- In shock and dismay we came crashing to earth. Our love like the gossamer clouds in the sky- Brought us such joy, then it caused us to cry... We stared at the ashes with tears in our eyes... Doomed by a solid foundation of lies. Visit My Home Page http://www.geocities.com/montcogunslinger/HomePage.html |

Lovely. I can really relate to this poem. Brings back memories bittersweet. And always a fan of mythological references... Very beautiful. ~Astraea "Sometimes stars can only be seen in darkness." "Sorrow's crown of sorrow is remembering happier things." |

You expressed yourself great in this poem! very well said! ~*~ Hell is not a place of fire and a devil with a tail and horns. But a place of torment because the light of God is gone. To escape this, accept the blood of Jesus Christ! ~*~ |
