Endings

Speak to me no more my love,
For there's another Summer coming,
A warmer, safer solstice in the evening of our love,
Remember me no more my love,
For memories are moments,
In the patterns of our dreams,
Reflections in the pool of shared experience,
Cry for me no more my love,
For tears are a chain that binds thoughtless sensibilities,
Smile for me no more my love,
For smiles are motives for true insecurities,
Sigh for me no more my love,
For sighs are dreams undreamt, words unspoken,
And fires rekindled,
Be with me no more my love,
For we are not to be,
And you and I have been swept away on a sea of infinate solitude,
Turn your back on me my love,
For there is strength in our conviction,
And unity in our parting,
Though we wing our way across different oceans,
We are uplifted by the same gentle breeze,
We touch but arn't touching, feel but arn't feeling,
Love but are unloved,
When slumber takes your hand, we will meet on the shores of never can be,
Then someday soon, you and I will have it all and more, and we will remember...this.

If I could write endings this well, I may not mind them so much.  Excellent!

*sigh* I don't like endings at all. I always want love to last forever. This poem touched me to tears. **hug** you have a wonderful way with words.

Love I leave with you whether it is in your life now or yet the essense of your dreams.
