~Too Grand~

too grand the rivers
of my soul
too grand the tears
that pay the toll

too grand the oceans
to be sailed
too grand the hurt
lest love prevailed

too grand the fragrance
of the rose
too grand the heat
from candle glows

too grand the price
to play the game
two grand, the number
by my name  

~vlraynes


Sorry everybody...I just couldn't resist!! LOL

heart, you have not truely met the poet."
