Wilma Neels Poet Free verse

'inferno'

Overwhelming was her desire
To be close to you 
She wanted to be close to your heart 
Like a spark she wanted to ignite
The dying flames 
Of your torn heart 

She didn’t know that
Those flames that lay dormant 
Would turn into an inferno 
That would scourge her 
When she wanted to walk away
She had to search in between 
The ash for her peace of mind 
The inferno left her scarred 
However it could not break her spirit

Andrea Dietrich July 12, 2016 at 9:25 AM I really like it, Wilma. Could it be for the Limerence contest? then again, you don't normally enter the contests, do you? but that one liner you wrote, sure looks like it belongs in the contest of S 1 Wilma Neels July 12, 2016 at 2:22 PM Hey Andrea, I haven't entered any of the contests in years. Didn't know about the Limerence contest until you told me. Who knows maybe I will enter it. ;)
