"Stars of flame
Descended upon us
Like gold-eyed demons of a treacherous sun "

Very nice free verse flow that sets the tone

"A bloodless moon
Pale as a dying smile
Gazed on with a forlorn detachment
Only a broken promise could know"
Personification of the moon connects the gold eyed demons to metaphorical emotion

“Rivers of tears spilt forth
Onto a barren desert of forgotten dreams
Drowning echoes of cherished times
The imagery here further accents the intense emotion reflected by A bloodless moon
Pale as a dying smile

Hope was too distant a memory...
Clarifying the cause or at least an influence of the Rivers of tears spilt forth

Sundered forevers
Windswept vows
The stone that once held
A heart and two names
Had been weathered to dust

Love was too sweet a song...

The final lines brings some light to the true theme of this very well written free verse poem
I could ponder on the meaning for days of this inspired masterpiece

Marvelous dark write. I like this piece a lot, especially admire its originality. Very powerful poem.

First stanza represents fantastic opening, it pulled me deeply into this piece. I especially loved the last line of it, it is so effective and greatly written. The second one is truly superb, it is my favorite one from the piece. There are a lot of people on this site who don't describe enough emotions within dark poetry but that's not the case here- I can even relate to this in a way. Those two lines that you wrote separately from the rest of the poem were amazing and powerful and they created interesting flow. I have just one critique: Maybe you can add some more punctuation signs through the piece to create more powerful rhythm. Other than that, I am in awe. Wonderful write.

"Stars of flame
Descended upon us
Like gold-eyed demons of a treacherous sun"

This 1st stanza reminded me of shooting stars coming to earth with the sun blaring behind them.

"A bloodless moon
Pale as a dying smile
Gazed on with a forlorn detachment
Only a broken promise could know"

The 2nd stanza was an excellent illustration of a broken promise. Considering I have seen or been on the receiving end of many of them, I could definitely see this.

"Rivers of tears spilt forth
Onto a barren desert of forgotten dreams
Drowning echoes of cherished times"

Wow the 3rd stanza spoke volumes for my personal feelings as of late. I have felt that my dreams have been forgotten and are drowning.

Hope was too distant a memory...

Sundered forevers
Windswept vows
The stone that once held
A heart and two names
Had been weathered to dust

Love was too sweet a song...

Overall, I loved this poem. The ending showed a true many of love and how two people that have loved each other for a life should be laid to rest together. Love is beautiful and should never be taken lightly.

Mm, I don't read poems in the dark cat., but this one was good. I loved the ending! It truly showed how much people love each other, even in death. Dunno if I worded that right, but hopefully you'll get what I mean! lol Good job, I'll give it a 5.

"Sundered forevers

This was what brought your meaning together for me. The beginning, I wasn't really sure, although I liked the words' music.
Especially the last line, because it's so honest, saying that the promise of love can be more alluring than love itself.

"A bloodless moon
Pale as a dying smile
Gazed on with a forlorn detachment
Only a broken promise could know"

I liked this part a lot, because of the pictures in invoked.

A breathtaking and poignant piece. it has left me speechless.

Rivers of tears spilt forth
