Withered Roses

LostLove

The rain hasn’t stopped falling,
I’m covered in the sky’s crystal pestilence
And my own wretched tears…
I’ve been sitting here
My despair growing with each second that you’re not here,
Roses wilting in my tremulous hands,
Just like our love…
My mind’s been telling me that I shouldn’t have done this,
Given you another chance.
You said 8 o’clock. It’s 10:27 p.m.
And I’m still waiting…
I remember…
The soft tales your lips whispered into mine,
Stories much like our own at the time,
Your hands, amorous and humble, traveling the plains of my body,
Eyes of the sweetest honeys
Willing my heart to cease beating with one flutter of eyelash,
An arch of an eyebrow, a content sigh, an utter of dark hair languishing on your cheek…
Sublime moments found in resonating silence,
The perfection in a poet’s perfect dream…
Darling, it’s nearly midnight
I’ve been drowning my voice of reason with excuses
of where you just might be, and why.
I’ve been feeding my imagination with lonely manifestations
of how we used to be,
and the repetitious “What-if” melody…
The roses no longer radiate with crimson splendor,
But ebony surrender,
hollow I love you’s,
and inevitable defeat…
I’ve been singing our song, dear,
but you’re not answering,
My voice is hoarse from battling the relentless roaring of rain and wind,
So I’ll just leave it as a half-remembered harmony,
and let my heart continue this hymn of despair,
Hoping that it will reach your ears,
and you will come to me
One last time…
My love, it’s been an eternity,
You’re still not in my arms,
It’s still raining,
Dead roses still in hand,
I’m still waiting,
Still a broken man…

Alone ... the picture, though pleasing to gaze at ... seemed somehow incomplete ... Stephy ... you gave it so much more life than I could have imagined. You did fabulously at adding to the image and not detracting from it in anyway ... for your first post with a picture added ... it makes me want for more !!!!
Well done dear, I'll be back to this again at time or two ... or three ... or more.

Beautiful yet heartwrenching at the same
time... my words are inadequate to describe
my feelings after reading this. Just your
anguish laid bare throughout this and the raw
honesty. I think this is one of your best even
though your pain just makes me want to
reach across the distance and give you a
huge hug and hopefully help you forget your
pain for a little bit.
*Roses and hugs*
