Lost Love

bloodshot, weary eyes,
burning as though they were thine,
blood rises quietly still,
the poison flows as though it kills.

in a moment a change or not,
an eternal reality that was lost ,
comes back in the shape of a spear,
comes back in the shape of a tear.

a perpetual drought , now parched,
a heart once straight, now arched,
when you get the freedom you want,
but realize that your love is lost.

A very sad but beautifully written poem, yeah it s true that when someone you loved with all your heart left you or went away it felt like your purpose of living has ended, their isn t a grief greater than this but you have to move on as someone told me that the past may be dead but the future is bright and you shouod focus on it however I m new on this site and would really appreciate if you could find time to read my poems and give your honest reviews about them

Niyomi, Welcome to Poetry soup, I hope you enjoy the community. Here, you will find friendly poets who enjoy supporting one another. I myself, enjoy reading and commenting those who want to be read. The only time I give constructive criticism is when a poet desires it. However, if for some reason the poem is not my field I will guide you to someone who is more qualified than I. Stop by and read one of my poems if you like. My poems are not perfect, but I have a feeling you might like one. I encourage you to check out the contest page and read to receive comments. Tell me a little about your poetic skills if you like. It will be my pleasure to follow and read every poem you post from here on :) We are Lucky To Have you. Your New Poet Friend @-> LINDA <-@
