Consuming Love

The pieces crumble
reduce to rubble before your eyes.
will this become my memory when I die?
I hold the pieces as long as I can;
praying
hoping
This is not the fate of man.
I watch time unleash her power
as we age wither and cower
Mother earth reveals her wrath
as she baths us in her cast
Round and round
Faster we go...
I cannot seam to stop this flow
the images are there-
whispering voices are my prayer.
However my memory will not flare.
tell me, what am I to do?
watching the world crumble around me...
bathing under the Blood red Moon...
make it stop please,
make it go
Give this fate to another cursed soul.
and that's when I see...
the one with the burning anger
controlling wrath...
never ending tears
the one with the dangerous heart
consuming love-
is me.

This is really good Annar. I usually try to read each persons poetry slowly, with a voice in my head that I change for each reader, but I just couldn't manage it with this one. I found myself being caught in a speed trap of racing from line to line, which had the result of adding to the intensity of the piece, until the final line, which works perfectly. Great job.

When love is gone. Anger is alive.
"never ending tears
the one with the dangerous heart
consuming love-
is me."
The above lines are real emotions and true. Thank you for sharing the amazing poetry.

"she bathes us" "i cannot seem to stop this flow"

i like the analogy to the battle with Mother Nature...we treat her cruel and she wreaks vengeance on us...same with a woman--if she feels she is not treated well enough, that same vengeance against our heart.

a couple edits needed but overall...an interesting write...

This a beautiful poem. I really like the questions you pose and the journey through to the end of the poem. What a way to end it as well "the one with the dangerous heart consuming love- is me." I like! Nice work.
