Poem -
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

T after walking through the ancient ruins of the streets Pompeii with that freakingΒ Β mountain in the back ground, I sat in a museum with some of the mummified remains, my friend I just felt a sadness come over me, it really surprised me....yeah who can imagine what that must've been like? Β cheers man, appreciate the commentΒ
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 Β Β
