A spark to light a thousand fires
Of love, of lust, of black desire
A light to illuminate darkened ways
And bring an end to lonely days
A seed to blossom to a rose of red
The flower of love, or so is said
But my rose grew thorns which cut me deep
And from the wounds my blood did seep
The fires raged out of control
Scorching my skin and cremating my soul
The path I walked led to walls of stone
The light extinguished and left me alone
Lost in love’s labyrinth, I curled up and cried
The poisoned tears of love denied
Embraced by the darkness which held me tight
Until the warmth of morning light
Danced around me waking me up
From this nightmare created by love

i loved the imagery in this piece. I liked the way you possitioned love as something that is planted innocently (as a seed) and turns into something beautiful but painful.
