The Fades of Love

i stood there on the berm of a cliff like juliet in the absence of romeo feeling dim, as night fell in a breathless mist my thoughts lurked in the ebon hole of mind as the stars settled in looming in and out of the milky way i looked at them as they glistened remembering that look that once twinkled within your eyes when i caught your glance now mind only sees the crimson edges of flames burning out as i catch the glow of shooting stars trailing in glimmers on a downward spiral as they burn out just like love...

Another stellar piece of writing. You capture the essence of love and how it feels when it disappears. Indeed, like a shooting star, glowing bright but disappearing quickly. I hope you don't mind if I read a few of your older posts, I find you to be a very talented poet and I enjoy your work.

Very poetic. I loved how silky the flow of thought to word was, it conveyed like a meteor. But hopefully we shall find a way love will burn forever.
