LOVE... and the shattered illusions that it holds. Or so it seems...

Love is never the fairy tale we hear about in story books... the beautiful princess marries the handsome prince and they live happily ever after... Or until he has an affair with the maid... and she has a nervous breakdown. Love... what a joy... what a heartbreak. Love... It'll kill you in the end.

These poems are some of my sentiments on the subject, heartfelt emotions... broken mindedness... loss... shattered illusions. Maybe after reading these... you too will think twice about falling in LOVE.


SOLITARY

You turn to me,
You smile.
That one step,
Seems like a mile.
Till your holding me tightly,
So tight.
And I will never again,
Try to fight,
That passion which burns,
Deep inside.
For the pain is too much,
To bear
Alone..................................Fleur Mar ‘92

FREE

I walk,
Alone,
Condemned, Forever,
Life, Unknown,
To walk this barren earth.

Yet,
If I were buried,
And if I were Yours,
I know that I,
Would find rebirth.

Dark art,
It seems has brought me,
This,
Your wild fire,
And burning heart.

Bright hopes and dreams,
Are Yours it seem.
And I have been a bigger fool,
To think that You,
Would set me free.

Ice cool,
You say, ‘come kneel to Me’,
Alluring-
Yet If I do,
Will I be Free?....................Fleur Apr. ‘92

FLAME

I run to you,
In my dreams,
I hold on to you,
In my memories,
I follow your every move,
With my eyes.
But you think of me not,
And what little light,
There was between us,
Has been snuffed out,
As if it were a candle,
In a tempest.
The candle was us,
The wick barely lit,
Holding us together.
But the tempest was our differences,
And it blew out Your love.........Fleur May‘92

I

I have to tell you,
But I can’t find the words.
I have the thoughts,
But I can’t think.
I scream,
But you don’t hear.
I call out your name,
But you don’t answer.
I have the concept,
But I can’t fulfil it.
I need you,
But I can’t have you............Fleur Mar‘93

WHY M’LOVE

I try to talk,
But you won’t listen.
I don’t know what’s wrong,
But something is missing.

You loved me,
I hurt you.
I love you,
You hurt me too.

You don’t know how it feels,
When the one you love most,
Leaves you,
Like a ghost.

One minute you’re there,
Loving me, I try,
To return that love,
But now you don’t care.......Fleur Aug'92
~~*~~*~~

JUSTICE

My darling,
Is there any justice,
In this love of ours?
I only wish to know,
So that my mind may rest in peace.

I want to let you know,
Before I leave,
And let you go,
Oh how I love you.
But although you’re there,
You are only a ghost,
And you do not care,
How far do I have to go?

It’s been going on too long,
This farce has to end,
I’ll find somewhere I belong,
And not with a
Stone-cold Heart..................Fleur. ‘92

NOTHING TO GAIN

I have felt like this before,
Yet now I feel it again,
But when I’m in your presence,
I know I’ve nothing to gain.
I want to share my feelings,
I need to show my thoughts,
Yet you have found another,
And I know,
I’ve nothing to gain.............Fleur Mar. ‘93
~~*~~*~~

DON’T YOU KNOW?

Don’t you know,
How bright things were,
How the sun shone,
And the days raced by.

Don’t you know,
How green the grass was,
How blue the sky,
And the time flew by.

Don’t you know,
How colourful the world was,
How beautiful things seemed,
And sometimes time stood still.

Don’t you know,
How dark it is now,
And cold it has become,
You don’t know how I love you,
And the time drags slowly on............Fleur Mar. ‘93
~~*~~*~~

WALK AWAY

Oh my love,
You don’t know how much,
It hurts to,
See you,
And walk away.

It hurts to,
See you, and smile,
To say hello,
Goodbye,
And walk away.

You don’t know,
How much I,
Love you, Need you,
Want you, I watch you,
And walk away.

I tried so hard,
To forget you,
But I see you,
And cry,
And you walk away..............Fleur Feb'93
