Pride's Tomb

Words reached out
Creating a Spring
Blossoming
Leading to a summer
Of lust and love
But our sins
Bore fruit on Autumn winds
Until we crumbled
Upon the steps
Of pride's tomb

    Yikes! When examined, a year is a mighty short cycle, and summer may be the shortest joy. Good, good.

    The summer of love and lust, the autumn of the fall of pride. Well done.

    Brief but intense, as some loves are. I love the linking of the timeline with the seasons.

    Summer love can be so bittersweet.

    So sad when those summer romances go cold. What is it "they" say. Pride goeth before a fall. :-)

    Almost a novel in verse, here. Nicely described.

    A love affair over so quickly is not so easily forgotten and years later still niggles the back of your mind...or at least does mine!

    It could not be plain sailing of fun. Kinks showed in between. It was only natural!

    At least you managed three seasons, Robert, and one of them was a summer of lust and love. Shame you had no one to cuddle up to in winter.

    "crumbling on the steps of pride's tomb" ... what a fantastic phrase!

    I think pride has killed way more relationships than anything else...
