LostLove
|
Gazing across the water wondering what
lies beyond my vision...
Trying to percieve not land nor sky
but reaching past my horizon
calling out for a heart...
A plaintive cry muted by distance not
only physical but emotional...
Begging, screaming, pleading
into the disappearing light...
"Are you there??"
Thoughts drifting
as the tide recedes...
My soul laid bare with every inch
of beach exposed...
The shrill call of a single passing gull echos my
despair as he, too, futilely searches for
his beloved...
And as it is for the both of us
He finds no reply.
We shared this spot often,
she and I,
In the dark of night and light of day...
But now the light brings no warmth
and the darkness only
covers me with
a cloak of sorrow.
My heart controls my mind
and takes it on a journey though time...
to when I was hers and she was mine.
The smell of her hair
the taste of her lips...
Sights, sounds and feelings
appear to me out of the mist.
A gentle smile,
a knowing touch...
Her heart so pure,
She loved so much.
She tried to tell me,
to provide me warning...
I refused to heed
and my result is mourning.
I mourn her loss
as this night grows cold...
I mourn the loss
of what was mine to hold.
Her Love, her trust,
her very being
I've lost it all
though my lack of seeing.
Closed to her pleas, my mind
was weaving it's own tapestry of
self serving pity.
Caught up in my pain I was blind to her tears
and deaf to her words.
My frustations transferred
to the very person that
alleviated those feelings...
Harsh words, brooding silences
all inflicted on a heart that
held no responsibilty.
She was a teacher
sent to me in my time of need
to reawaken my heart
and to restore my faith in Love.
But I have forsaken her...
taken her lessons
and crushed them
under the heel of my imagined turmoil.
Could I have been that blind...
that deaf...that callous?
It matters not what was in my heart,
only what she felt from it.
What I am,
what I need, what I feel...
All so different from what I projected.
She raised my spirits,
gave me hope...
Showed me Love
But I couldn't see
what my internal misery was doing to her.
Darkness falls...
points of light appear
on the hills around me.
None of them shining
quite as bright as the sparkle in her eyes
or the radiance of her smile.
And still I stand
looking into the distance...
My heart calling
into the night...
"Are you there?'
"I have learned...I understand..."
My only answer comes
as the breeze laps gentle waves
upon the shore...
Each ripple speaking volumes
of what once was
but is no more.
