What in the world do you call this......

What in the world do you call this......

A Poem by Heath Payton

Love described

"

 

I’m on top of the mountain on my way to cloud 9.
Ready to take on the world and make it all mine.
 
My face is now possessed with a permanent smile.
Throw away the old records I need only this file.
 
All the joy created now time to stock in this folder.
And plans to add to it every day as I grow older.
 
Passion, Joy, and Happy times fill my memories.
Keep this folder wide open, throw away all the keys.
 
But then one day one of the files caught on fire.
Anger and Pain now destroying what I so do admire.
 
The folder was full of the good memories I know.
Pain and anger caused a flame now the files burn with a glow.
 
To the paper shredder you go, time to get rid of this folder.
All of the memories now are a paper shaped bolder.
 
Like going from high to low what was that I felt.
From pounding with joy then my heart started to melt.
 
These feelings are so different so what do you call it?
Like a snowflake & flame, like a purse and a wallet.
 
Pain and suffering used to be memories from heaven above.

What in the world do you call this……….LOVE!

Good thing i Have the back up file if you choose to want to borrow mine! Smile I will always love you no matter what happens in life. But back to the writing like I said its raw and straight from your heart and that is what puts you in such a hole category then the rest!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
