The sands of time flow too warm for me to walk through year after year. My feet recoil from the heated memories burned into my inner core. I've peeled away many layers of you, yet you remain a burning desire and I cannot reach inside and douse the fires. Why can't I remove the seed of Love that will never bear fruit? Why can't I cool this flame that consumes me? The heat of the moment is long gone. Yet the embers smoulder with hopes that you will re-ignite the flames of Love that refuse to be extinguished from this scorched heart. And I don't even know if you still breathe.

Duncan, thanks for burning this title for me. I already had the poem written but the title refused me until I read your "with disclaimer" poem. Jiminy thanks you. [This message has been edited by Midnitesun (12-01-2002 01:21 AM).] |

"And I don't even know if you still breathe." Kacy, there is so much emotion and feeling in this beautiful poem. You have an amazing ability to pull the reader in with your strong emotions you write down. Thank you for sharing your heart with us. "Love makes the world go around" ~~with love and hugs from Ethel~~ [This message has been edited by garysgirl (12-01-2002 10:35 AM).] |
