Ribbons and Bows Fantasy

Ribbons and bows tied to the flames
rose and scorched joy with scars mundane.
Two sick hearts arched in pain’s red stain. 
No love to come would be this same.

Now, new fire crackles your sweet name.
I strain for your vision in vain.
Sadly, I feel our love lost aim
inside the youngness of youth's game.
My dreams tangle yesterday's chain
in today's now for love's sweet gain.

Ribbon and bow mementos maim,
treasured pics and trinkets cause pain,
but fantasy love has no strain.
I need our love’s ash-formed refrain
to stay away heart breaks strict reign.
Daydreams dance for us in my brain.

WONDERFUL PIECE AND BROUGHT BACK SO MANY MEMORIES OF MY YOUTH AND MY LOVES LOST. I hope yours was fiction and written purely from inspiration and not past experiences.

New fire crackles your sweet name...that would scorch a heart, dear. What a write! You used unusual imagery to bring about the pain of lost love. Rose and scorched joy...for instance. Treasured pics cause pain...how sad. Good luck in the contest, dear. Hugs

oh caycay, you and I went in the totally opposite direction with the challenge but I sure enjoyed how you took the line. I too would have done it the tone you used. A long lost love gone bad. YOu nailed the meaning of that line!! I put the seven since I always forget to do that too.

It is that you said below that it is fiction... It is totally believable. I also like the last three words: heart-soft brain. It may seem like three words, but it says so much more. That's a great expression.

Yes, indeed - at times my heart may be brain strong or my brain turn heart soft. Brain vs heart - that's life, eh? I sure enjoyed your comments. All the best ... CayCay

So glad to know the deep heartache was sensed because the write is total fiction, but who hasn't day dreamed about someone from the past? I appreciate your sweet support, Alexis. All the best ... CayCay
