Love blossomed in my Heart like a rose blossoms in spring Slowly the petals of Love unfolded across my heart Exposing something so precious and beautiful Our Love was both destined and doomed from the start That rose grew from a seed A seed that was planted by you and me Blooming from Friendship Was suppose to be a Love that would last all Eternity But a rose has thorns Those thorns are what caused the pain As now my eyes of blue Cries tears of Rain I cry for what might have been If not for lies and deciet Cry for love lost and time spent My Heart now shattered no longer feeling Heat The Sunshine stopped the day I opened my eyes Our love, this Rose was built on lies Suppose our Friendship was too Only thing left to do is let go...though I hate goodbyes So goodbye Rose...and goodbye Love Perhaps we'll meet another day Fate may be a little kinder I only have one last thing to say Memories of our love Are timeless like a red Rose But Pain is something that will pass As Winter is now coming to a close As Spring approaches once again The time has come to say Goodbye Do not weep my love 'Tis no more reason to cry Your lies cut like those thorns Broke the wings of this butterfly Though now you say that you are sorry Wishing you could Die But Tis the Rose that dies Even though again it shall flower With the coming of the next season And beautiful Spring showers I am the one left with the pain But my heart it shall go on As now my new day begins I'll sing another song Perhaps this one shall be sweeter As my Heart begins to beat again As another cycle of love and the Rose Shall now gently begin...

'Memories of our love Are timeless like a red Rose But Pain is something that will pass As Winter is now coming to a close As Spring approaches once again The time has come to say Goodbye Do not weep my love 'Tis no more reason to cry' Hey, Aims...this has left me speechless...what a beautiful expression of such painful emotions...I absolutely love this, m'friend!! -e ~~~~~ everytime I close my eyes, I see your face, I taste you on my lips... every night I fantasize that I can feel you on my fingertips... |

Wonderful write Amy! Very sad but also so truthful and open...that pain seems to bring out the best in us sometimes though I'll never believe that it's the best thing for us. As humans in this state of imperfection we encounter pain and discomfort sometimes but time and unforseen circumstances befall all people and happiness can be the same way....I loved the way you put this together...it's so well done!! The poet is like a cocoon; in him the caterpillar of the past finds rest, and from him the butterfly of the future emerges. |

Thank you all kindly for your loving words and support. Hey, todays a new day and a new beginning...that gives me something to smile about. And through the time I've spent here at Passions I've grown as a writer and a person and I thank you all very much for contributing your part. You all are special to me. Take care Amy P.S. Laura--if you're going to reply to my work could you kindly refrain from writing a response such as this? Thank you.
