You were the cherub that I staked too hard
Too late, too late to cleanse my ways
Now you're only a sketch within my mind

A time we can only recall in dreams...
Why do we always run backwards into the fire
When heaven is just a breath away?

| I really loved this. It was short but so powerful. And very well written. It really makes you think. Great job! I loved the last line! |

I like this one, especially the last stanza. It reminds me of a quote I saw recently that I really liked. I'll post it here, beneath, at the risk of taking more time than it's worth.
'It has always seemed strange to me,' said Doc. 'The things we admire in men, kindness and generosity, openness, honesty, understanding, and feeling are the concomitants of failure in our system. And those traits which we detest, sharpness, greed, acquisitiveness, meanness, egotism, and self-interest are the traits of success. And while men admire the quality of the first they love the produce of the second.'
John Steinbeck, Cannery Row
It certainly sets one to thinking.

great poem loved the play on words here:
Now you're only a sketch within my mind
That draws another time and place

This was nothing special but it touched my in the way of words (not as a poem) I prefer that sometimes.
My heart is also broken, only I broke it this time.
This is very sad, deep. Made my heart skip a beat. |

| Wow! The message here is really strong over here. It's kind of true. We always tend to do things that are wrong. This is definitely a FANTASTIC poem. Thanks for sharing this :-) cyaz |

Intellect even shows the nearest path to heaven but our minds are controlled by
our senses which yearn for the pleasant experiences of flesh.. we run back wards
into fire...A good thought provoking poem.

Outstanding introspection on the road to further wisdom. If only we would open our eyes when we're runnin' backwards. We'd see to put ourselves in drive instead of reverse to git where we truly desire to be. Another masterpiece, Ave.

I am stunned at the ingenuity of this piece
while it is simplistic in length it screams with clarity and is so candid
in pointing out an epidemy which plagues man
A healthy dose of reality
