Crazy In Love

Carved In Stone

he was swept up in the moment

she was swept up in his arms

she wondered if she loved him

or just swept up in his charms

he offered her forever

she offered him, her heart

would they always be together

or would they be torn apart

she became the question

that love begged for him to answer

a last chance to find heaven

and happily ever-after

or would they crash and burn

with love, you rarely can ever tell

so many lessons to be learned

to avoid going through hell

when he paused for a moment

at the spark in her eye

he offered her a stone

much to her surprise

now once a year, he will visit

when there is no one around

but for only a minute

and leaves a rose on the ground

neath the stone that he gave her

when he ended her life

there was no way he would ever

make that woman his wife

    A poem of life and death and then the wondering why events happened.

  • Such a brutally heart-wrenching poem, Kelli. May he find his fingers pricked painfully & without forgiveness every time he delivers it, & may it continue to goad him for months, easing up only so much as to allow it to torture him even more painfully on the next occasion. Yet even so there is grace for such a one--which is a sure guarantee that I'm not the one who's in charge of it.
