The Power Of Love Poem by I M Swan

Crushed like the red rose underfoot
the heart blackens and dies
No more will she believe hollow promises
and dusty tears she cries

Loneliness comes to keep her company
and she excepts it with open arms
Emotions buried deep inside
to keep her safe from harm

Unforgiving she laughs at pain
believing she is untouchable
She thinks she is beyond feeling
and for love she is incapable

But somewhere deep within
a flicker of light glows
The heart beating life through the veins
unaware the blood of hope flows

As she looks deep into his eyes
the fire ignites within her soul
Helpless she gives into love
Emotions raging out of control

Out of the nightmare she awakens
from the darkness and the cold
The power of love can heal broken hearts
even mine, so I'm told
