Love Hurts - Bound by Love Broken by Fate (Extracted from my Poem ‘The Train’ and made into Lyrics and a video.)
Mesmerised by the candy-coloured rainbow Coy behind the fairy floss clouds Through shimmering sunbeams, we gazed My senses in overdrive As memories surface And hover back to That one day Boarding this very train Squeals of joy As cloudbursts unleashed rain Chorus But you left me You took my heart and locked away the key Squeezing into one seat Wrists caressed and kissed Floating to that intimate space Sensual lips taste Whispered promises Sparking bright eyes And blushing rosy face Softly against my ear a hum Our song Fingers daring to trace Burning paths Through shredded threads Faded jeans Breathless on the high line Us, giggling teens Chorus But you left me You took my heart and locked away the key Speeding through fields of wildflowers Sparkling like diamonds with the fallen showers The train hooted in joy Through the rain splattered window amazed Mesmerised by the candy-coloured rainbow Coy behind the fairy floss clouds Through shimmering sunbeams we gazed. Chorus But you left me You took my heart and locked away the key

What vivid beautiful memories you had of this love and sad are the chorus words, that he left you, broken and took away your heart 'and locked away the key.' Fortunately you were young and still able to build up a new life. Reading your memories both glad and ending sad in Ballad poetry form reveals your talent Maria - life is not always straight forward, or fair, but your poem is awesome. Hugs and blessings, Jennifer.

Thank you Jennifer, it is only real life fiction that probably happens hundreds of time around the world and I wanted to make a poem of it. Lovely of you to visit and comment. Hugs and Blessings to you too

Memories never die. They chase you like that of the speeding train where you both sat and travelled into a world of dreams once. From the pinnacles of joy and romance, the fall into the pit of despair is powerfully presented in the refrain---- "But you left me You took my heart and locked away the key" These lines create waves of pain in me too. Congratulations Maria on your POTD. Beautiful video. Enjoyed watching it.

Maria, no question that love can be great. It can also cause a heart to suffer loneliness and/or despair. It's all a learning experience and hopefully it brings us to a better place where true love exists with the right person. We do learn a lot about this as we grow. This poem has a lot of passion and is a pleasure to read. Smiles!!

As if I was watching a movie! The visual is so impressive and expressive! A high level of design and composition! Listening to the Ballad while reading your amazing words truly illuminated all the chambers of my heart! There is a secret magic in Love! We won't savour its mystery if we do not go through such state of longing and heart breat! We cannot realise what we are living if we do not undergo the twists of Love and Life! The flash backs added to that sweet ache as we miss what is of inestimable value for us! It is simply a HUGE WOW! dearest Maria! A poetess of grandeur wonderfully meets the splendor of Love! Truly so much enjoyed the read and the video! A masterpiece deserving the honour of POTD! Congratulations! So happy for a well earned recognition! My warmest wishes. Love and hugs.

My dearest Besma,Your beautiful and thoughtful response has completely warmed my heart! I’m beyond grateful that you felt so immersed in the experience and that the visuals and words came together to create that “movie-like” feeling for you. Love really is a magical force that we can only truly understand by navigating its highs and lows. It’s amazing to hear that the flashbacks added that extra layer of emotion and nostalgia. Thank you for your kind words and for seeing the love and effort I poured into this piece. Your support means the world to me...Love and Hugs

Oh my goodness, what a heart-aching and deeply moving song you've crafted, dear Maria! That longing of forbidden love has been so eloquently painted within poignant shades of vulnerable feelings that become the reason of perpetual sorrow and grief.. My heart could feel the fragility on so many levels here...I am especially awestruck by the majestic atmosphere of the video and how you possess the artistic skills of converting words & feelings into lyrics that just touch the soul ~ so beautiful! "Boarding this very train" It was truly a bittersweet journey to witness! Reading your craft after a very long time, coming back her3 and I must say, it's always an impeccable experience. Keep shining and being yourself, sending hugs & light! Heartiest congratulations on POTD :)

How wonderful to see you back dear Hiya, and your glowing comment is truly appreciated . Your words truly moved me! I’m so touched that you connected so deeply with the song and felt its emotional weight. Forbidden love can evoke such complex feelings, and I wanted to capture that raw, vulnerable essence. I’m thrilled to hear the atmosphere of the video resonated with you as well—it’s wonderful knowing it left an impact. Thank you for taking the emotional train journey with me and for your continuous support and encouragement. Sending hugs and light right back to you!

This is such a beautiful poem, and that lies mostly in the fact that it pulls at my heart strings in a gentle and yet persuasive way, Maria. Young love is a topic which appeals to many, and you have aptly captured its joys and pains. I enjoyed the video; the Maria-Ron team is on a roll. ~ Congratulations on p.o.t.d. much deserved.

Dear talented soul, This poem resonates with me on so many deep levels and its melodious how youve written the lyrics, has the poignant touch while also ensuring you paint imagery in such a picturesque manner! Sometimes when we feel like love did take everything within, leaving us empty, and in pain, we all feel this way, and you have expressed that very well for so many! I love the fairy floss clouds and also fields of wildflowers! You have a very elegant way of weaving words. And its just today i was thinking of writing a fairy inspired poem! Pleasure always reading your work! Sending you light always

Dear sweet Maria, many congratulations for POTD with this beautiful, emotive poem and video that further enhances and tugs at the heartstrings. You have captured so much angst, separation, longing of young, lost love that will never be forgotten and remembered with youthful reminders. You have skilfully captured the abandonment that draws the reader in. I love, ‘Candy - coloured rainbow’ ‘ Coy behind the fairy floss clouds’ such an air of innocence… of young, dreamy love. Many will relate to

wow, this is so awesome. I think the music that goes with it is so pretty. Who arranged the music and who sang it? I had three poems made into songs long ago, and I really hoped something great would happen from it but it never did. I think your song is worthy to be put out into the world. Very good work.

Dear Andrea, yes I thought the music was truly beautiful and so was the singer used. Did you post the songs on YouTube? What about TikTok, seems a lot of people are getting recognised there. I was reading about these two young guys who posted a song of theirs that went viral started on a million views straight away. Lucky them. Can I reach you on Face Book? I could share some information there...Hugs
