Confession of Love

Ambient light flickers and I enter the dark a slight murmur from the other side beckons thoughts aimlessly wander about without any filter without hesitancy I confess ruined amidst rages of jealousy murdered moments of bliss crimes of passion smolder falling prey to my own weakness love held hostage When calmness takes when spirits wake when white doves flee with minds set free dark nights clear as vision reappears Absolved from an inferno of lost control Moonbeams glow on a humbled soul love thought to be withered and faded away can once more be nurtured, be strengthened, to stay

TIM! First place :) It's so wonderful... This is for me the most beautiful and at the same time the most painful in your poem: "I confess ..//.. ruined amidst rages of jealousy..//.. murdered moments of bliss..//.. crimes of passion smolder..//.. falling prey to my own weakness..//.. love held hostage"..//.. Congratulations.

WOW, Tim, I'm impressed and shocked to see you took top place, I read and looked over my top 3 choices (over and over) After finding so much worth imagery on your poem, I moved it to first place. Everything here is perfect, flow, imagery, and depth. Congratulations on your awesome win. Soon I will have a blog up... Enjoy. LINDA

Very dark, but powerful. I liked your line "murdered moments of bliss". Jealousy is like playing with fire, warm and exciting for a time, but eventually you'll get burned.

Tim you speak about a popular subject. Jealousy and how it affects relationship. I guess there are different forms. I believe we all have been victims of jealousy but some people take it to a higher level. Creating hardship and pain on their partners. I believe most of the time it is a person who is insecure about their relationship or in other cases their partner's behavior example flirting with other people creates that emotion in the other person. Great write Tim as usual my friend.
