Twilight Tide

Sailing out into the sea of twilight,
The two of us may never cross paths again.
A golden light falls into the sea, the wind has paused,
The two of us hear only the light crashing of water
I've forgotten my path completely, what I believed in to make it this far.
Leaving in me only enough kindness to say goodbye.
No matter how many waves crash down as I cry out to my memories,
I can't ever return to the shore I was once on.
The waves of days past are already deep at the ocean's bottom.
Knowing no sadness, dreaming blue dreams, fast asleep.
The light of an unknown flickers beyond the dark waters,
As if back when the flowers of paradise seemed so very close.
If I had crossed over one final distant wave at that time,
Would I have reached the shore you were on?
The two of us may never cross paths again,
And the nights of falling asleep, looking into lonesome eyes, will disappear.

Randomly selecting poems to read can bring you gems, just like this one! I like the use of the lonely, frightening endlessness of the sea as your imagery - it evokes a feeling of being haunted by emotional ghosts that won't disappear. Gloomily beautiful...doesn't even begin to describe it.

I can not but echo the former commentator.
Hauntingly beautiful.!
But we are meant to leave the past behind, though it is in the Eternal Present and not lost.
Haunting!

Lonesome, mornful, regretful...with a glimmer of hope...maybe I only see the glimmer of hope in it but you did a very good job either way.
Eternally Punished,
Faust |
