Pure Romance
I stood no chance
I met you on a day
That was warm and blue,
In a place called paradise
Where I fell for you.
***
We hit it off
From the start,
No matter what
You left your mark.
***
I had to leave quickly
The feelings wrong,
I’m married you see
I had to be strong.
***
Married I say
Separated more correct,
Still the guilt I felt
I could not reject.
***
Out of my mind for you
I tried to say,
But the memories and feelings
Were there to stay.
***
You followed me
I stood no chance,
You overcome
With pure romance.

My first love is poetry — it’s like a desperate need to write, to free up space in my mind, to escape the constant noise in my head. Most of the time the poems write themselves — I’m just the conduit holding the metaphorical pen.

FPS: The Last Flame Challenge Winners
Welcome to our first Winners Announcement of the year and to the final challenge in the Fall Poetry Series. The Last Flame invited writers to sit with endings, using fire as a central image to consider what remains when something burns out: ash, warmth, memory, silence, or the faint promise of what comes next. The strongest pieces treated endings as gradual rather than sudden, allowing them to flicker, dim, and linger.
