When Desires End

When desires end An emptiness to my soul stings, And treasured memories now haunt, Heartache rhymes with mood swings, As tears of grief constantly flaunt, Tranquil in veins lays all my want. Blooms of spring are now history, Vibrant autumn blown by breeze, Echoes and reflections end in mystery, As the golden moments with time freeze, Feelings of hurt can anyone squeeze ? Those rosy paints that glowed in grace, Sprouts of depression could not defend, And ate throbbing hues to minutest trace, A final point where all desires end, Till body and soul advent an eternal blend. Written August 13th, 2015 For contest by Francine Roberts Entered now for "Sadness" poetry contest by Silent one Awarded 2nd place win

We spend so much time on just collecting assets. Only if we serve some time in making healthy memories so we can devour them later on. Only if. Lots of hugs and wish you well on a good write

Ahhh yes...Desires. Or to be more blunt - Lust! To put sex before anything else in a relationship, even good sex, is like putting the cart before the horse! Nicely penned. Cheers! :) john
