Love's Fine Line

Like a rainbow bright and beautiful Love flourished as a river flows to stream, Forever faded fast to lies and loathe Lowered the gauntlet on pure love of youth. Magic dreams disintegrated into ash Smouldering fire quenched as passion died, The rainbow was eclipsed by selfish whims This Romeo and Juliette expired. Slowly through the years pendulum swayed Inching closer to sever love in bloom, Wilted romance now tasted only pain The substitute to gather pieces lost. In the beginning love carried a song Sweet precious souls enwined in happiness, Time is the culprit changing lovers tune Embarking in passage of loneliness. Love contains the key, the core to Life Reaching several highs and many lows, The gauntlet ever present to invade Unless the lovers firmly stand, together grow. For Mr. Heck's Contest

Quite profound observations of young love, Satin Doll. If people do not "grow" together, the infatuation fades. Only with nourishment can love endure the test of time. Well done! John will like this one. Love, Carolyn
