Click hereDiscarded memories
of love once lost
an unquenched thirst
A haunting past
lingering wants
eyes burned by tears
Guilt
betrayal and lust
torturous retentions
half a shell
the yolk long gone
left with the pieces
abandon
Make it stop
it takes but a smile
a hopeful glimpse
A chance lost
Embers wasted
an opportunity dismissed
eternal regret
Foreboding darkness
silence surrounds
sanctity
Good-bye my love
Heaven awaits
Been there? Tell me then, and thus a cold laugh emerges, to the man who knows not, and recognition to one who understands of what it means to see, see in it's fullness the pain, so deep it cuts, cuts burning quite unlike anything ever felt, tell me then, tell me, why love hurts?
You're a real talent, dearest. I completely 'get' that feeling of missed opportunity, of elusive possibilities that come and go, or are denied. You captured it beautifully here.
...read from a poet who has been posting lately and seems not only serious about it but determined to have a voice, and that voice seems to me to be growing stronger with each poem.
