Drifted

by Simon Hayes   Jul 13, 2009


From what had started
Now seems departed
Closeness and purpose
...Drifted

Failed in mistake
A trust I did a break
Perfect together
...Drifted

Based on direction
Is there a correction?
Flames burning dry
...Drifted

In all the confusion
Of love's illusion
The bond we shared
...Drifted

Battered and bruised
In a fight I could lose
Our love remains
...Drifted

    "Is there a correction?"

    Yes....the line 'A trust I did a break' hardly makes sense due to the second article. I guess that was accidental.

    Overall, it was a little dull and in a format i could never really care about. No imagery at all, dull choice of words and as a result, rather cliched.

    Well I'm glad i didn't let this poem drift by. I liked the flow you chose and the words you used. Like most of your works you have a gift of writing with a comfortable style that never rub the reader the wrong way. congrats on another good one!!

    You did a great job Simon :) though you needed some metaphors.

    Well done~

    I loved the format of the poem, it gave just the right emphasis to the message...The message is very easy to relate to. It is so easy to drift apart in life, sad but true! Excellent work.
