    Love's Suicide
    Nothing in this world can harm
    as I have survived you
    Nothing in this bombed out shelter
    has a faith without truth

    This once was an empire
    stronger than the world itself
    Passion gave it muscle
    and love brought it wealth

    But bombs started exploding
    blood and bones scattered far
    All the walls began collapsing
    as the sky couldn't carry the stars

    So, how could this have happened
    in such a heartfelt land
    Love's suicide within our gates
    is impossible to understand

    This is the best of all your poems that I have read. Very real and very deep and concisely executed. I loved the metaphor of the heart being a bombed out shelter. Your wording is magical in this. Absolute 10!

    Poetry comes nearer to vital truth than history.
