Gnarled - Gnarled, Graceful, Green Poetry Contest

Twisted yarns in warped interlace 
Like love that's caught in cold embrace 
Old bright spark refuses to flow 
Like a kiss wrapped in flakes of snow 

For, one wants care and one wants fame 
So sad, their paths can't be the same 
Two yarns bound tight but just can't rhyme 
Like love enslaved by space and time 

Even at times, their paths do cross 
Only time mourns the chance they loss 
So close, but they can't flow in tune 
Like two feet caught in sands of dune
