Entangled in these mental vines
Self-destructive habits formed
As sharp as thorns - as sweet as wine

They weaved and weaved around the bends
Bends that bound both space and time
Lost within hindsight's crevasse
In retrospect - the vines would climb

And knit themselves like fine Pashmina
Spun around his crooked spine
His cashmere dreams would fall apart
Like spindled fibers - cheap as twine

Just as frequent as he stumbled
He would become ensnared outright
By every trap his heartstrings set
Never seen - from such great heights

When emotional threads unraveled
They liked to dangle free from sight
Like serpents with poison snafus
Constricting every single night

Love escaped his weakened grasp
Beyond the void he saw the light
The girl he sought no longer ran
She flew away - a non-stop flight... [comments] => 1 [counter] => 218 [topic] => 22 [informant] => heartstrings_unwound [notes] => [ihome] => 0 [alanguage] => english [acomm] => 0 [haspoll] => 0 [pollID] => 0 [score] => 0 [ratings] => 0 [editpoem] => 1 [associated] => [topicname] => LostLove )

Six Days To Rule The World - Seven Nights To Rule Your Heart

nice poem! especially the first stanza. I like the comparison to the the vines quite a lot and look forward to other parts.

Poetry is much like a great photo, a single "moment in time" capturing many feelings and emotions. Yet, they are very alive; creating stirrings within the readers who form visual "pictures" of the expressed emotions within the Poem. ©
