Poetic Asides building poem

A Building Poem

A skilled carpenter,

thrilled to build

a home that fulfilled

his sweetheart’s dreams.

He began building,

totally yielding

to her every whim.

It became a tower

of  power reaching

high to the sky.

He finished with a sigh.

Inside, he tried to reside

but he was tied to his bride

whom he could no longer abide

so he left and she cried.

There were too many rooms,

then the fumes,

the flames and the blames.

The building’s gone now.

Life resumes.

A flower blooms.
