Thy presence does blaspheme this sacred place Where holy vows once whispered Under cool autumn skies Memory now naked profane By blood of heartache Shed in the lustful hours Wringing guilty hands. Those pretty blues that once Sent heart into joyous song Now only disgust Colors my countenance Swearing if I only recount The good times Handmade mystic fairytale Signed by Venus's hand in rays of golden dawn then love's fires rekindled Memory now so marred What was heaven No so shallow still Praying to gods great and small Blot your image from my soul For now I just stand here Under cool Autumn skies Wanting only to hate you Finding only love Falling to my knees I cry. |

'Falling to my knees I cry' Beautiful poem about the end but not the death of love. Well done. It leaves my heart aching. Nan |

Brad - This one makes my heart ache. I can feel the pain in your words. Chris Life is not measured by breaths you take, but by moments that take your breath away. |

How sad, yet beautifully written. The anguish comes through loud and clear.  Warm hugs on the way. |

Your last stanza summed the subject matter up quite strongly ~ excellent free verse. |
