The End Of Love
This was published in 2002 in a book called The Language of Love
She watched the end of love
Abrupt as a storm in summer
Loneliness of silence poisoned the air
Like fog in the chill of winter.
Memories taunted her tormented heart
Waiting words he'd never known
Kept concealed like snow in clouds
Now she pined with her thoughts alone.
Allowing shadows to creep
Where once was colour and light
Leaving herself the wishful green
Of a cold and envious sight
Truth entered and built itself
A self-piteous altar of pain
Where dreams as wishes that will not be
Paint his face in her life once again
Lives entwining suffocating themselves
Fading with every heart beat
Burning inside like molten rivers
Freezing in the ice of grief
