Holding on
To something gone
Harmony
Built with tones
Sometimes sharp
Crystalline
Shards of ice
Drawing blood
Crimson heat
Pooling cooling
On frozen marble
Eternity
Captured in one
Heartless moment
Forever gone
I loved the opposing images suggesting bitterweet such as the use of the word harmony in conjunction with the word sharp.
My first impulse was to think it'd be better as,
"To something long gone,"
But then I finished reading it and realized
With "forever gone" at the end,
The "long" is not needed.
It's good just the way it is!
I enjoyed the spiral descent of words that lead to a nice visual from this poem.
