Wild Passion

by Michael D Nalley   May 27, 2008


I was at your funeral love, I thought of the things we had done
There were many there that love you, and you know I 'm one
They played the song "Wild horses" couldn't drag me away
Tears streamed down while I remembered a happier day

I never expressed my love for you, for fear you would think it lame
I never let you know that I would have loved to kindle the old flame
It seems now that the time we spent together slipped through my fingers
I treasure to this day each smile, you gave me, as your memory yet lingers

It has been said when love beckons we should always heed the calling
Were we chasing our romantic dreams or an angel that was falling?
I know you were not dragged away by the forces that overtook Judas Iscariot
It was hard for you to leave your loved ones as the horses pulled your chariot

I watched you suffer, without regret, to spend the time with those you love
I envied your courage as you accepted the pain that you would rise above
You still live inside of me, my dear friend, right here in my poetic heart
Life, nor death, could separate us and wild horses couldn't pull us apart

    I enjoyed this one the most because you took a risk with the structure and length of the lines but you succeeded at creating an excellent piece. The use of Judas is well done, it heightens emotions and lets people easily relate to the temptations that Judas faced. You did well with the metaphors and relations. I enjoyed it alot. 5/5

    Beautiful love poem you have here! I could truly feel the passion you expressed to this person.

    "There were many there that love you, and you know I 'm one"
    ^This sentence didn't flow well for me. The way the words are put in order doesn't really work for me. Try reading over it and I know you can make the corrections it needs.

    "It seems now that the time we spent together slipped through my fingers
    I treasure to this day each smile, you gave me, as your memory yet lingers"
    ^Oh how much I adored these lines! It was filled with such love and beauty that I read over it a couple of times and each time I read it, I smiled although it was about heartbreak and losing the person.. The fact the emotions felt so true and beautiful it left me speechless.

    Wonderful poem you have here that I truly enjoyed reading.
    Well done *5/5*
