Notes About The Poem

Not sure if this would have met the requirements for the contest but I did like the theme.

An Incomplete Love Story

An Incomplete Love Story

Too fast the pages riffled
through dreary decades
innocence confronted
loves lusty laughter
growing faint
in darkened corridors.

Forever’s love
hesitant in a hazy
distant stare,
longing
for a return
of its longing,
passion adrift
on a fleeing vision.

An incomplete love story
written in blank pages
riffling too slowly
too sadly,
too soon,
to end.
