Seasons of Heartbreak.

by Natalie   Jul 8, 2011


Spring.

We danced endlessly through brittle trees of dreams,
Of fortune, marriage and together laid with forever,
Flying with an odd bravado; our world of extremes.
Parting with each other; we would never endeavour.

Summer.

Pronouncing the syllables that compose your name,
A set of eloquently compiled, spoken proper nouns,
Reverberating within and yet no longer mine to claim,
Haunted by these piercing, torturous, persistent sounds.

Autumn.

Hollow wind caresses leaves that follow our love; down,
Brave attempt to ignore echoes of this vacant tomorrow
Burgundy carpets colouring the soul a darker shade of brown.
Every second discovers a new definition to the word sorrow

Winter.

The glinting iced rain resembles those celestially blue eyes,
Clouded skies threatening more excruciating remembrance,
Of precious moments once passed, erroneous last goodbyes,
Fearing this cold, never-ending, agonising, crippling imbalance.

Today.

I compose lyrical ballads that will remain forever unheard to your ears.
The distance between our lips remains, still six years since, unfathomable.
Together we coloured the world with a love that left me with nothing but tears.
The loss, the tears, the failure, the memories, the pain are all just...immeasurable.

    WOW!!! What a poem

    First off I liked your choice of title. It was well picked and let the reader gain some idea of what expect from the poem.

    As for the poem itself I really liked how you went through each of the seasons it added to the feel of the poem and really made the poem stand out.

    Even though I enjoyed reading the poem as a whole I do have one issue and that is the ending - well you ended the poem well I felt it went on a bit. It would have been better in my opinion if you had ended the poem with the last season. That said all in all a great poem 5/5 and I hope this poem makes the top rated page

    Am an autumn person, this season gets to me, makes me think so deep,  
    makes me feel different than any other season ..

    In this case, my favorite part in your poem was Autumn.
