A Brief Romance Poem by Tan Pratonix
A Brief Romance
Between you and me
Is a long stretch of sea
Preventing us
From communicating with each other
Properly.
My words fly through the air
And settle here and there,
Scattered like pigeons on the sand;
And boats which swiftly sail
With messages, in hail
And storm are wrecked before they land.
Bridges were built,
But battered by currents of guilt
They totter and fall;
Reason says, 'It's time to part.'
But can Reason subdue Passion's heart?
Silence, like sheets of snow, covers all.
Truly, my dear,
In the span of a year,
Love's ardent desire,
Its glow and fire
Expire
In a bleak vale of tears.
A refined poetic imagination, Tan. You may like to read my poem, Love And Lust. Thank you.
My goodness, Tan, this is awfully beautiful! For those who experience silence and fire in relationships, this piece will speak straight to the heart and mind. You are very good at finding metaphoric images to demonstrate the message. You should develop it and work on it. You have a passion for a great poet. Looking forward to read more of your poems.
Well written on love but circumstances prevent to express it the person.. Good metaphors used +++10
Such an elegant poem! I truly am amazed by it, I love it so much! Good job :)
No matter how hard you try some romances will not survive time. A 10.
I just read the poem again and yes, a brief romance, if there is such a word I would call it A Distancing. It demonstrates quite well the feelings of one that I am presuming would have like that the romance would have lasted longer.
Very poetic, well written and explicit. Love cannot stand the constant tempest of the sea and its surroundings. You take us there and we feel your feelings everywhere. Quite an excellent piece.X
What caused deep currents of guilt? If they were't able to resolve that (the guilt) , then better that it was short.

Long stretch of silence can affect relationships. Only communication can bring back the spark of love.
