What Once Was... Is Now.

Passion!
This instinct acted upon....
What once we had! Raging and fiery! All consuming.
Blazing in the moment, Now an ember without fuel.

A Kiss!
An expression of bliss...
Where two souls open to one to the other.
Not when apart though, two never to live.

Love!  
Such an extreme...
In this feeling it is everything.  Separate!
It is an emotion of memories to never last.

Forever!
So short a time...
We spoke this promise.  Together!
Now, Forever seems to have ended.

Time!
Moments spent....
Wherein all things can happen, without fail.
As we know through our actions, feelings, and emotions.

The End!
The place.... 
When all my passions, kisses, and love stagnate.
And where Forever finds retreat,
Time stays absolute.
And I am with out... You!

Congratulations on being featured. I like this write as it speaks to my heart. Though I am not familiar with the different styles of writing I feel that when one writes from their soul it is written as it should be. If it touches another than it is a gift. You are a talented writer and I wish to thank you for sharing. Smiles from Lolita
