Tempest of Pain

In the mists that swirl and speak your name I'm quickly falling under. This depth of my love's burning flame just sends my soul asunder. When daylight fails and I am lost it's your dark heart I find. If you could only feel the cost; if you could read my mind. You'd know the damage you have done; the tempest of my pain. With battles lost,no victory's won, no pleasure left to gain. Now you'll be on your merry way; we never more shall meet. The way I feel mere words can't say as I cringe in defeat. won 1st place in the contest "Write Me A Lightfoot Poem " date won 5/12/2012
