Old:
In a brave new world
Where my love was free,
My dreams glowed bright,
And my heart desired thee.

Like wine,
My dreams improved with age.
But my cup overflowed
And around my dreams built a cage.

Like unloved hearts,
The cage rusted with time.
And when the drums of fate pulsed,
The shattering was nothing but a mime.

Entrapping boundaries still grip me
But my dreams have turned to dust.
Whisked away by the wind,
My heart still throbs with lust.

My love for you is immeasurable
For its reach toward you is infinite.
Forever to drift on as ashes,
The flame from my heart will never quit.

New:
In a brave new world
Where my love was free,
My dreams glowed bright,
And my heart desired thee.

Like wine,
My dreams improved with age.
But my cup overflowed;
Around my dreams built a cage.

Like unloved hearts,
The cage rusted with time.
And when the drums of fate pulsed,
I found my dreams were past their prime.

My cage has crumbled and I am free,
But my dreams have turned to dust.
Whisked away by the summer wind,
My heart still throbs with lust.

My love for you is immeasurable
For its reach toward you is infinite.
Forever to drift on as ashes,
The flame in my heart will always be lit.

feels rough for you.....something must have gotten lost. i do think it's good tho! i like the idea that you presented. feels rather familiar actually. makes you wonder why we put ourselves thru the pain of it all, ne? i luv anything that incorporates all things fire related! the ashes, the burning, i liked the shattering too! and the cage theme....i've used that too. ish good!

Hmm...But at least I still have love, and that's the dream that matters the most, right?
Thanks, I'm glad you like it. :3 I'm going to fix it up later though. I'll add -UPDATED to the thread title when it's fixed. xD

Wow. This is a great piece of work! I could tell how you changed the mood from sadness to happiness. Which is always good in the end.
