I loved a flame that flickered <br />Burning for a moment so bright <br />With a promise of lighting my life <br />A joy of love at sight <br />But before I realized <br />It flickered and died... <br /> <br />I loved a flower that fluttered <br />With such rich hues, so bright <br />Heady fragrance that stirred... <br />Its perfume lingering through the night <br />But before I realized <br />It fluttered and died... <br /> <br />I loved a song that faded <br />Playing music with my soul <br />A sound so sweet, it invaded <br />my senses, and it stole <br />But before I realized <br />It faded and died...<br /><br />Renu Rakheja a.k.a Tranquil Ocean<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/b-3-pain-longing-i-loved-a-flame-that-died/
