A Burning Love

This world 
in a state 
of confusion 
upside down 
in no mans land 
love eternal flame 
hopes candle 
blossoming red 
flames on fire 
with the rays 
a setting sun 

Burning deep 
hot pokers 
inside this heart 
power of another 
hangs one's destiny 
crossing the dead sea 
flickering shadows 
smoldering ashes 
in dreams 
staring into 
an empty space 

Opening the windows 
of my soul 
misted emotions fall 
loving someone 
beyond everything 
drowning in pain 
one gulp a time 
slipping away 
dealing with 
the heart's hurt 
this nightmare 
holds pain within 

Awaiting light 
of the morning sun 
dawning of life 
carrying dark shadows 
in ghosts of loved ones 
until we meet again 
love never leaves 
we get hurt 
within loves emotion

I think I read this one on CS already. Forlorn but excellently crafted heart felt poem.
