Seasons of Love

I've always been fascinated with beginnings, endings, cycles.

I could taste the reasons 
in the flavor of seasons. 
You ran through me 
like ice in Spring. 

I was the lone mountain 
watching a flowing fountain. 
Thirsty for love; 
you made me sing. 

Tangled up, two souls 
sometimes make two holes 
aching when cut 
where we did cling. 

Feeling your heart still, 
the healed scars fill 
the cold hollow 
Winter will bring.

Imagery that exudes the pain of the heart and soul. I hear the cries, feel the pain and know too well the game.

I sense a union and comparison (metaphor if you like) between the year and a life .. and deeply experienced. You've led me into a place that needs thinking about, understanding if possible - and private, tangled yet lyrical. Reading aloud, a second time, i find it intensely personal,

'I could taste the reasons in the flavor of seasons' - each time is its own embellished aftertaste thats for sure.

Thank you Emma :)

Wow, beautiful lyrical write.. The healed scars fill the cold hollow winter will bring great lines and the cycle of life with definite stages beautiful to behold so too the seasons.

Great poem Mark! I love anything resembling the seasons, it equates so well with relationships. The line 'You ran through me like ice in spring' is inspired! Enjoyed it thanks.

[Mark]

Thanks Cathy, I've always equated the seasons to human emotions. ;)
