Champion Of Love Poem by Alex Segree

Pain is loves companion emotion is its star
champion groomed at times to destroy,
disrupt and abandon. Its dreams are absurd
for it endures when the flames subside and
love no longer resides. It listens to the hearts
message but these are full of empty words
and deception. Crooked things it ignores to
maintain the evidence of the glory of this
love that was, but no longer is. Strong once,
now hidden in circumstance as it enjoys one
last tango one dance one last chance at so
called fates hand. It dances with ignorance
as the clock ticks away. Reality is caged as it
were and the key is thrown away. Minutes
seem as though forever and a day, we wait.
No one can tell this champion the game is
done the time is nigh love is gone and there
are to be no more love songs. This is how it
ends never really ending but it is finally
done. The conclusion is open ended so we’ll
never know if it is truly over. But we will
always know how it begun the champion of
love and how the song is sung.
