Notes About The Poem

Heat of the Heartbeat Poetry Contest. ~ Sponsored by: Ink Empress ~ I did all of the prompts.

Heat of the Heartbeat For Us

"Do people really change or just the date on the calendar that really changes???" By Poet
 
"In the mists of your eyes,"
I found raw passion. 
As I talk to you,
you "Burn me with your love poison."
I cannot go on like this,
you are tearing me apart.
I hope one day,
"I will find you beyond the stars." 
In a peaceful and loving world,
as we live separately.
Maybe we were not meant to be together,
just sailing on the blue waters.
"Where the sky drifts into the sea,"
where we both can find ourselves.
I will let you go now.
"Leashed to your dusk."
