You Came Along Poem by Fay Slimm

You Came Along

Rating: 5.0


Under the tremulous arc of limitless sky
I walked alone,
with no feel of belonging to earth or ether,
and not knowing why.
Then I found my soul-space taken.
you came along
and swept clean the mystery place
in my heart.
You taught me love's meaning,
re-charged my fantasy, invaded me
with your amour,
and the shards of my modesty
were soon crushed.
Now we are parted,
I imagine what might have been,
and dream on.
My bloom flowered for a while,
but unfed it died.
Sad regret for the trust I gave
has lately arisen,
and my lust for more loving
not now satisfied.
You showed me a paradise
in which to dwell,
yet my innocence ended
under your spell.

Fay, please read Innocence and Riches. It is a better reply than any comment I could leave here. I wrote it before I read this amazing poem, but I think it a meet answer. Thank you.

Interesting interplay of emotions; acknowledging innocence lost, while admitting the hungers aroused never satisfied; earthly love is never perfect but its the best thing around I've ever heard of..The lines had a delicious cadence that galloped along..all the best to you, Patti :)
