Like a Lighted Match - Hot and Super Romantic
My heart burst into a flame of love,
Burning romantic memories forever there.
Your touch was branded eternally onto my spirit;
I'd lived yet only breathed worthless air until you.
Now I sit here missing you,
Trapped within this mortal existence,
Wasting precious oxygen meant for those wishing to be here.
Damn, even trees probably wonder why I still hang around,
Sucking in atmosphere that only continues my loneliness.
Note: I wrote this piece during my grieving after losing the love of my life. Robert

"A poem to me is the essence of any thought,
Being built from its foundation into tower scraping sky.
It can fly like no other bird to places never seen,
Even spaceships can only dream of taking its place."
