Seduction of Emptiness

when morning light
had just about broken
and the kisses
of your words
would enter the dawning,
my heart would light up
in *softsmiles*...

and thought kisses
I would send in return.
Never knowing
if they were received,
as they were meant to be.
Now...
I watch as others
repeat the words
I first expressed
upon reading you
each morning,
and I smile again.
Remembering...

Wondering...
What has happened to
that specialness
between us?
Is it hidden deep
in the shadows of darkness,
awaiting temptation's exposure
or have the images aged
and become edge-frayed,
worn from neglect,
crumpled from despair,
rendering them useless?

Silence is heard loudly,
kiss words are nil,
filling my heart
with the seduction of emptiness...
once more.

~Wynter

I enjoyed this so much, so full of emotion.
Oh, I wanted to tell you (from a previous thread) that Balladeer owns his own exterminator business, hence the "bug" references!!

Merry Christmas

Oh yes, the seduction of emptiness. What an awesome poem. So sad and so true.
Merry Christmas, and hope you get some dream realized this new year.

This touches me deeply, Wynter. Unfortunately, I know what an "empty" relationship feels like. Thank you for a powerful (if not bittersweet) reading experience.  )

So very sad Wynter so very sad! A heart full of love...love for another with nowhere to go to find a release. Only to end up being filled with the seduction of emptiness .....very good writing for sure!

James- me too, but some things we don't have control over no matter how we try  huggzzz and hoping your holiday  was nice    

Sandra- thank you, it's not the dreaming I ever worry about..just that darn reality gets in the way too often    

RobertB- well the highest  compliment to a poet, I think is that you touched someone, even if only one  person... then  my expressions were worth sharing ..thank you again Robert
