Hey YWS'ers! I'm not really sure about this one. I never usually write poetry. But the idea came into my head, and it didn't seem right in a short story or as a picture. So here it goes. Reviews are VERY welcome as I'd live to improve my poetry writing.
Fiery flames that flick and hiss,
Did erupt when we did kiss,
Closer, closer, danced the heat,
From your grasp I did retreat.
Reflected in your huge eyes,
The flames took me by surprise,
The way they roared with their true might,
Made even you shake with fright.
To our hope, the door, we fled,
Reaching it delivered the dread,
Boiling terror stopped our way,
And to the window we would stray.
You heaved me up to the bench,
As the room the flames did drench,
With blistering heat right in my face,
I took you in an embrace.
When I tore my lips from yours,
I saw what our delay did cause,
Blazing flames had danced too close,
Now I knew I loved you most.
I could not leave you, could not bear,
A life without you always there,
But, wanting to save my life,
You caused me all this endless strife.
With your fist the window smashed,
Giving me a chance to freedom dash,
My true love sweet, my true love pure,
Our fate together then did lure.
I would not leave you there to die,
You were the one who made me cry,
With despair that I must leave,
You to die and me to grieve.
You pulled me closed and kissed me too,
I responded as I love you,
But you wanted something that I did not,
My freedom from death, which I got.
As I kissed you, my boyfriend,
You edged me closer to the end,
Of the window, the you pushed,
Out I fell, and my arm I crushed.
On the ground, I dared look up,
At the flat encased in soot,
Where once we had stood and kissed,
I thought of you, the one I missed.
A final explosion, did then bang,
Your love for me, in my head sang,
I saw a figure, lying dead,
A body clothed in flame and dread.
At once I knew that you had then,
Had Death taken for a friend,
Flames danced a sad tribute,
The same ones that had been so brute.
My own selfish loving needs,
Had committed such bad deeds.
By kissing you, all hope I stopped,
Of you escaping flames that dropped.
Asides my arm, physically unhurt,
Was I, but mentally, felt like dirt,
Could not stop crying all the night,
Thinking of your face in the morning light.
And now I sit, and grieve, and think,
About the lows that I did sink,
To, forcing you to lose your breath,
There are memories I have of your death.
No one will ever here me talk,
And on those grounds I never will walk,
Where all that sadness had begun,
Death triumphed, he had won.
The losing battle of our love,
Had flown like a single dove,
No longer were you mine to hold,
Oh, why, life do you have to unfold?
Why couldn’t I have died with you,
In flames that ate you up so true?
But no, you wanted me to stay,
Without your love I couldn’t live another day.
So on this bridge I now do stand,
A picture of you in one dark hand,
At home my parents do not know,
Of the place I am about to go.
As I jump, I’m flying free,
Elegant, bird-like, over thee,
And as I fall, so fast and strong,
I know with you I where I belong.
And where you went I now will come,
So we can kiss again, my love,
I searched for you and now you’re found,
Our love will continue above the ground.
Since you went I though of only you,
And now my final dreams have come true,
I bear the pain of death – one, who dies,
So we can kiss above the skies.
