Click hereNever do they ebb; these tides of my love’s deepest yearning
crashing on bleak shores of lonely everydays now
Wanting all of you though none of you is what I’m deserving
Remembering us not long ago; the us we shouldn’t again allow
Lying in the dark, I hear hollow sounds of my heart beating
Emptiness consumes me as do the moments we once shared
Cold and vacant is my soul now since we’ve promised to stop meeting
When nighttime offers shadows, its pity cloaks my feelings bared
Desolation’s mate, I’m companion to oft time sorrow
Eternal sadness with little hope; overwhelmed by all despair
We’re each alone in barren solace with faintest chance for our tomorrow;
grasping morsels of this love from crumbs of time we find too rare
Clinging onto faith, the one strong thread that shows no fraying
Believing in our past that’s ours to cherish; dreams then and when
Our future’s not been reached in spite our present’s day- to- daying
As we loved in times of our ago, you knew we’d love ago...again.

CaPic267about 18 years agoA deeply moving verse, talking of a love that's been put aside -- denied but not forgotten. The depth of the feelings are just bursting from you in this powerful writing. CP
LeBrozalmost 19 years agoBeginning the verse I hear
Haunting yearning, desolation's companion--
Powerfully these thoughts spring unbidden.
And then I scan your third stanza
Seeing the power of your mind,
evoking, even anticipating, your feelings
You open your soul and share your all,
commanding attention and thought.
A darker vision here, of passion lying dormant
the joy of life's exhultation missing
with only hope's persistent heartbeat sustaining
for a future yet to come.
Anonymousalmost 19 years agoAgo Again is something I can relate to, and so beautifully written. The emotion evoked with every sentence makes my heart swell for times passed that I long for once again...if only one more time
Vixx, you make the reader feel these emotions and the longings you so eloquently convey...you have magnificent talent!
XO,

Anonymousalmost 19 years agoI disagree with some of the comments. I think this was a good idea but the execution was not up to your best work. For example there are 12 'ing verbs including 5 in the first stanza. That creates a rather passive feel which with more incisive verbs might be improved. Also the line breaks seemed a little laboured, maybe shorter single phrase lines might be worth considering. Then maybe it's just me
