Dreams Weep

The bridge of friendship crumbles over a river of hurt and pride Two souls stumble alone across an empty great divide A kingdom full of promise is forever lost by the choice to tear down and rip apart Kindness could have been the only cost along with love for the other's beautiful heart When death comes knocking on the door with the hour of judgment at God's hand Was it all about keeping score? Or will they finally seek to understand? Before another day comes to an end Learn from this foolish pair Give thanks to your precious friends For the many treasures that they share There is no saving what is burned in fire We lose what we try too hard to keep Fate has her own secret desire Dreams weep as the angels go to sleep

Very good I liked your poem. I only started writing poems since my wife died in 2009 I can relate to rhyming poems better than others. As you can tell from my poems. A lot of poems I don’t understand and I would hate to give a wrong comment. I want my poems to honor my wife long after I’m gone. Thank you
