The End of the Road

( Subtitle : Let the road end, let love linger ) Grapes and grandeur in the pink sun We shared for our pleasure The frost and fervor that we spun Looked beyond erasure Love and hate are too much ingrained I know, in our apples As the maples dropped off in pain Paled the passion purple How come our bubbles got so sick Was our love just a lust Or else how the wall grew so quick Billowing mean distrust Okay, let the wedded road end Let us remain just friends You go your way and me mine bend With shared rains in our veins Time releases both stink and scent Dahlias we did love Will wear off too the discontent Clouds of love float above ----------------------------------------------- 6 January 2017/Rhyme Scheme : abab Syllable count : 8-6-8-6/Contest sponsor : Nicola Byrne
