Though gone away from me
Far-gone away today
My soul sings
Of the things
That mention
Thoughts of yesterday
Those moments held between us when
Our hearts were beating close
It stings me now
This memory
Invisible like a ghost
I wonder what I could have done
What now am I to do
A bitter sweet
This pain I feel
When filled with thoughts of you
My memories are haunting
Yet I'll keep them ever close
My love for you
Till final breath
When I release my ghost
It's fantasy
A fantasy
Of happier days beheld
That linger long within my song
To hold me at the helm
Abreast your breast
My chest to yours
The fading pulsed caress
A feast of favored passion
And a failure of a test
I failed you than
I fail you now
Is it forbidden?
Love?
The fruit we ate
We did partake in moments
Full of want
But now my tears are streaming
As overflow
Niagra
Can't boast a wetter day
Than mine
Even if it had to
To boast of all the sweetness
That the fruit of your design
Gave to me in heart, in thought
Implanted in my mind
What am I? Just a fool
I ask
For simply loving you?
I wonder has my love but made me
Like a foolish tool?
A tool for pleasure
Tool for pain
To wrench our souls
Of what we'd gain
Since I'm the man
I'll take the blame
Regarding you no less
A darling fading memory
That puts my soul to test
A cherished nourished memory
From which I glean my rest
My restless being longs to see
You at your very best
Which was what I had thought I lent
A chance to best my best?
Another shot at loving you
Or not If you contest!
It's in this prison of a song
Where long is my arrest
I'll love it long, my haunted heart
May love you yet in death!

"Striking thoughts make my mouth thunder as I brain storm."

hello kent, l love the rythmes of the poem and the "dark" declaration of love, it is somehow hypnotizing and very sensitive, may the person you live read that beauiful poem,
