Things Never Change

I'm having a bit of writer's block, being that this is my first time to use this.  Lately, I've been having problems figuring out where my life needs to be heading.  It's scary, knowing that I'll be 24 in a month, and I've done nothing big in my life...I want a change, I want to break out and start over again.  If I could, I would move to NYC right now, and leave everything behind.  Sadly, that cannot happen, but one can always dream.  My poetry class that I'm in right now is finally making an impact.  I'm finally able to write things that are meaningful to me, and that hasn't happened in a long time.  Granted, there haven't really been any changes in my life that would spark me to write again, but there is now, and there will be plenty of writing coming from these changes.  I'll leave with a poem that I recently wrote.  Enjoy.

Summer Romance

This love is as a shooting star,
a burning tale of romance.
Offering a quick glance into eternity,
and extinguished as quick as it was lit.

A burning tale of romance
lives between two young hearts
and is extinguished as quick as it was lit.
It is a soul-awakening summer flame.

Living between two young hearts
is an unending feeling of forever.
It is a soul-awakening summer flame.
His hand reaches for one more caress,

an unending feeling of forever
meeting its bitter end in timeless silence.
His hand reaches for one more caress
as love exhales its last weary breath.

The bitter end in timeless silence
fills his tattered and tired heart.
As love exhales its last weary breath,
The words, “I love you” leave his lips.

His tattered and tired heart
hangs on to love’s burning ember.
“I love you” leaves his lips
and that is more than enough.

Hanging on to love’s burning ember
he feels as though he could find forever.
And it is more than enough,
this love is as a shooting star.
