The apocalypse hovered over their bodies as the two...

It's freezing
But I can't yet see my breath
I'm set for failure
Weary and discontent
For once I lift my head
To see what lies ahead

there you will be 
Your eyes will met mine
And suddenly I will be strangled by the memory
In less than a second
I will see city blizzards
And your laughing cherry cheeks
Summer nights all alone
Dancing in the streets
but It never happened
Not a single word of it
and I remember it all the same
Each time I see your face.
But that's not all
Just as often
Depending on the weather
I see graffitied walls and banquet halls
Ballrooms, flowing dresses and roseblooms
Too fast it comes
And for my life it will not go
For the sake of chivalry

"Let's not pretend"

is it...

is it that seeing him is too painful? hmmm....genuine emotion there. You might wanna concentrate more on the form than the content...after all...it is poetry, but anything you like is your expression!

Try a bit more flow and rythm... less prosaic and complete sentences in the verses? Or not! Poetry is self expression!

Keep it up.

Good job.

I'm afraid I'm at a loss too (hehe).

BUT the first stanza did remind me of the old saying, "If you fail to plan you're planning to fail." Oi, I have to get that through my head!

The first stanza transmits a fear of thinking about the events yet to come. This person sort of lives in the present. Thinking about one's future is a scary and stressful thing, but it sadly has to be done at times... I must change my improvising and procrastinating ways!

Uhh, sorry if I strayed (I do that sometimes).

Your poems are so nostalgic by the way... Don't think that in order for a poem to be deep and meaningful it has to be sad (I don't think the core of your persona is that way... but I dunno).

I can sense potential.
