Fles Poems

Never thought it would come to this
When all those years had passed me by,
These battered dreams which lie in ruin
Beneath an opalescent sky
...

Breaking down frontiers of emotional low
Bleeding to death without stemming the flow
Re-opening cuts to examine the wound
Knowing without what I’m losing I’m doomed
...

Just another cigarette in the great ashtray of life -
Never thought that such a love could lead to so much strife.
You sparked my passion, lit my flame and took my breath away,
Then stubbed my heart out on the floor, yet still you make me pay.
