Boulevard of broken dreams

Boulevard of broken dreams

On the boulevard of broken dreams,
where hope meets harsh reality
fragile souls are shattered to pieces
when love instilled and nourished
by time and tender encounters
gets swept away by the mighty arms
of logic and reasoning,
natural enemies of romantic love
On the scarcely lit pavement
abandoned lovers and lamenting poets
join hands and set course towards oblivion
guided by a darkened sun and treacherous winds

    Nice poem Ingrid!
    Such well put together, beautil words here, describing the age old battle between Love and logical reasoning! The contest that has gone on since mankind first came onto the planet.
    I love your verses 'On the boulevard of broken dreams, where hope meets harsh reality', but in truth I love all of them!
    Well penned Ingrid!

    That was a very beautifuly expressed poem.

    "by time and tender encounters
    gets swept away by the mighty arms
    of logic and reasoning,
    natural enemies of romantic love"

    This part really caught my attention! I love the wording here, as well as the very last line of the poem.

    You're poems always create a very realistic visual effect.

    Wonderful write!!!

    I like the word choice in this piece. I think it would flow better if you changed this line:

    where hope meets with harsh reality - Just remove the "with". I also think it should be broken up into stanzas as opposed to all just running together. It was however still nicely done.
