I think we all go through phases like this when we think love has passed us by and we don't see the world as vibrant and lovely but dark and dreary. It is funny how that happens. We love and feel good, things are beautiful, we don't, then they are ugly. Well done.

Love makes us fly and lifts our spirit making everything around us a beauty but we fail to see that same beauty when love leaves us..love is such a strong feeling it can make us hate, laugh and like life..nicely penned. Felt like a song...take care.

I have to agree with the ladies, it never skipped a beat towards holding our interest or the emotions it brewed within

I read this 3 or 4 times to try and write a decent comment for this. I planned to break it down, strip it back and discuss in detail.
I honestly don't think I need to.
This poem is a great example of a piece that is written so well, with a rhyme scheme that works.
It flows majestically and it reads as if it was written by a famous literary great. I honestly believe that I haven't read a better written poem on this site for a while. (However to contradict this I am giving this 7 points purely because my 10 pointer had deeper emotional content.)
Sorry I couldn't say much more Nightflyer apart from that this is fantastic and I am glad I had the chance to read and vote on this.

Breathtaking piece....

Reading poems after a very long time & am so glad that I came across this one.

Simply Outstanding.

all the best & take care

This is a sad piece but there are such beautiful passages within, there are colors, candlight, passion, lovers, but there's emptiness because you long for this to be you, but its not so you are left with pen and paper to write of the ache in your heart and how love has passed you by. I like how you made it rhyme, it wasn't forced, it flowed perfectly. And there is nothing like a Florida sunset to get the writing juices flowing. (4)
