"I'd been wondering all this time, whether there's any meaning to a failed love. Is it something that will disappear the same as something that never existed. Now I know, there is meaning..there was a meaning...right here." – Takemoto [Honey and Clover]

There was once a story told
of icy silver, crimson gold.
Friendship fade and lovers lost,
fires burn and flowers frost.
Where the ocean meets the sky
is where the tragic ending lies.
There a figure waits and stands
seducing you into its hands.
Freezing skin and teeth of knives
don’t look into its torching eyes.
Hide your gaze and turn away
and on this earth you’re free to stay.
But life has left you burnt and froze
you let the heavy door fall close.
So where the ocean met the sky
is where your soul is left to fly.
And that’s the story long been told
of icy silver, crimson gold.

Nice connection of the end with the beginning of the poem. Rhymes really work for you and create a wonderful flow/rhythmn. I love all the parallels you tie in this. Vivid, superb diction and a alluring, mysterious undertone. Loved it! 5 stars, add to favs. :D

Would you please read and comment on my poem titled "Tell Stories to the World"? Thx :D
