Poem of The Day. Photo from the Past.

When she came, she saw the possibility of a different life.
With a faint blush, in her face and passion in her eyes;
She sat musing over the prospect that once reflected on his face.
Filled with memories of the past, the impression that they were interested.
Yet had taken leave of each other; her to pursue her dreams,
He to conquer many worlds, to build himself an empire.

What was it about this place, that ambition,
Not desire, cannot change?
With its entire splendor, endless possibilities,
It was the ordinary that beckoned her.
That which drives us, we do and are a hindrance too.

That which she pursued eventually engulfed,
Captured and defeated her.
The magnificent of a wealthy country had become
Nothing more than a prison.
Held captive by what she chose to do,
Even her love, had convicted her.
His silence, her own thoughts,
Placed her in a stationary solitary place.
