Old Flames dance in haunted doorways <br />Our Love consumed, my soul ablaze <br />Eager hands that touched you <br />Liquored lips that kissed you <br />Eyes that saw your pleasured cries <br />Written in heartbeats, eternal ties <br /> <br />The Gates of Hell can hold no worse <br />No, no escaping this infernal curse <br />Abandon hope, who enter here <br />For this Lost Child, shed no tear <br />His fate was sealed so long ago <br />Damned, awaiting that final blow <br /> <br />'Love' came cloaked in a muse's guise <br />Web of life, spun bittersweet alibis <br />'SoulMates' locked in a Blasted Tower <br />Sands of time declare the hour <br />But let's not forget sweet moments past <br />Amid the night some sunlight cast <br /> <br />Desert starlight on fallen dreams <br />Enchanted forests and summer streams <br />Together, flesh fused in the psychic heat <br />Unearthly passion, swept off our feet <br />Flashback, holy Abbey, stones that sang <br />Innocence, before the doorbell rang <br /> <br />The Artist's life has many sides <br />Chasing rainbows and racing tides <br />Hearts that feel too much to bear <br />So much within he cannot share <br />Spring is coming with its ocean swell <br />It cleanses all, even Love's cruel spell<br /><br />Robin Keen<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/chasing-rainbows-and-racing-tides/
