Too Many Love Poems

by Jack deCongo - Capricorn

There are too many Damned Love Poems
in this Damned World.
And though some of them are Sweet
                       Funny
                    Sad
             Intense
Overall they break my Heart.

From emotional Highs to emotional Lows
these feelings squeezed from 
the fabrics of Patched Hearts
   the fibers of Lost Souls
      the frameworks of Decaying Minds
Somehow find their way into words and images.

Skilled writers, poets, artists paint onto paper
these written images of Love.
We see thoughts curled upon the paper
   Embraces that tear you apart
           Promises that bind like Clouds against the Sun
                   Eternal Beauty wrapped in soft Tears.
Intentions gathered into words and lost in Time.

Every time a Love Poem flies into my hands
I rage in fury at lost opportunities.
While they write what they feel in their hearts
                 Memories are not created
            Smiles are not shared
       Sparks don't ignite
And Lives Intertwined that could have been aren't being.

And while i write This Damned Poem
I am not with She Who I Hold Close to My Heart.

Reason for writing:

    Came up with it just now.
Checked the site out, thought i'd just put something in.
Whatever.
