A blowing leaf in the wind
Is how Love's story begins
Swept away by whim or Fate
Passions rising may turn to hate
Careful alwayz, wanting not
Hearts afire may turn too hot
And engulf the Love that blossoms there
Then it becomes a ghost that gets lost in the air

A tree falls and no one hears
A thousand words said the worth of one tear
A smile in silence for love lost
A breaking heart feels the loss
A guilty look of broken trust
As Passion's flame turns Love's ashes to dust
Broken as a sparrows wing
Who once soared now only dreams

Seashell castles in the sand
Weak hearted fools refuse to take a stand
And nurture a love that blooms unkept
As that single leaf on the wind is swept
And falls onto the waters lips
Finally feeling her tender kiss
Waking from a dreadful sleep
Love rising from the deep

And when finally at last
Love arrives and Hate has past
Will you be the one who Love awakes
or be left standing in Hate's wake
A pawn, a fool, broken, alone
Or finally, at last, at home
Reaching out to take Love's hand
As the wind sweeps another leaf away again

This was a really good poem.  My favorite part:

A tree falls and no one hears
A thousand words said the worth of one tear
A smile in silence for love lost
A breaking heart that feels the loss

Good Job and I hope reading more from you!
        

Within you I lose myself.
Without you I find myself wanting to become lost again.

Stop writing poems about my emotional deficiencies!!!  Just kidding man, as long as they are of this high of quality, keep 'em coming.  Just don't write about the sword fights that we used to have.
