The Grave Yard of Love

Long love day's has past.
                                 My mind felt with howling storms,
                                 grasping to hold on to vanishing love.
                                 Rape and abandon my weary soul
                                 transpires, poring with instant fires.
                                 Oh this dark secret love does thy life
                                 destroy.
                                 Like amorous birds of pray,
                                 Once ways, and known devoured
                                 Your beauty no more to befound
                                 nor shall the sound of your voice.
                                 Love to dust, love to ashes.
                                 Our love has now gone to a private place.
                                        The grave yard of love.

Joseph Spence Sr Date: 10/11/2008 4:24:00 PM I like your use of figurative language in this poem. It flows quite well and is very descriptive. I can see the images of what has made its way to the grave yard of love. Tomorrow will be a better day; believe me and count on that. Great job! ~Joseph Login to Reply
