Vengeful feelings we openly reveal
Severe scars we cannot heal

Too much squabbling,too many petty fights
Cloaking a veil of dusk on our light

Too deep for comfort flow our gushing wounds
Broken and trampled to pieces our resigned hearts pound

By and by, we smile
Attempting to bridge across the miles

Will we reconcile?

Maybe in distance
but never in heart

a senior member with 700+ posts, and this is your FIRST rhyming work? well, i am impressed, not only by the poem but as well as the fact that you write that much free verse. on the contrary, i just wrote my first free verse.
this is well done, and i like the theme. long-distance relationships are tough. (i really hope that's the theme, or i'll feel real dumb.) especially when things start to not work out.
well done. good job on the rhymes

What an amazing poem...You have perfectly described something I am going through right now with a friend of mine.  Very touching-thank you.

You can never have too much fiction; reality can be such a bore

I love the reference to "our light....."  And I always hope that romance can have a chance to turn into a long-term friendship.  I have managed that over the years with few exceptions.  Puts things in a different "light."

Kaile; This is a romantic and beautiful first
rhyming poem. I too only write free verse and rhyming is a chore, so I understand your efforts completely and those efforts are fantastic! Ellie

that awakens
the butterflies,
calling them to join
the dance
in their silent song
of praise to God.

This reconciling in this but not in the heart reminds me of yet another Chinese idiom.   And yesh! I like this one too...
