Because

Because

He drew laughter

from her tears

her spirit leaped with life

she seized the day

(Carpe Diem)

and made the pain blind;

lost in the night shades

of the ancient city's

sleeping marble

and taken to the bosom of time

leaving only ruins

mummified;

like the bodies of Pompeii

left in a cold museum

knowing

it was time for it to end

because

(a special thanks to Curious Onlooker for reminding me how cool the word 'because' is, thanks man)

I love this, I could feel her rebirth and the strength that comes with, you went so in depth with describing just how much the pain had warped, resolved and vanished, this was definitely a piece to be proud of, excellent job a fav for me, and the end was the best part, YOU USED BECAUSE haha I like it man, the because explained everything but at the same time nothing at all, it's enlightening yet mysterious I loved it, keep this up

Curious I got to give you more credit for inspiring this one my friend, this is one of my favourite reasons for being on an interactive poetry site like this; you can get inspired man, and your use of the word 'because' in your poem sparked something; thanks a million and yes I do feel a bit proud of this one, it has a certain tone I got from it; I don't take ownership of poems to be honest, to me they are a form of word magic and have a life of their own, they are gifts to the writer and reader; sometimes, lol... I know it sounds weird but that's how I feel...thanks for generous comment ย ย
