Tenderness Lost Even the softest of uncertain sighs in the silence seems a tortured dirge. Hands reach out which once in our world coaxed pleasure with tender caress. Eyes that once searched deep into my soul shed tears in vain and again grow cold. And from this place once passion stemmed the lament of hesitation now alone stirs. So sad to watch as hope for a breath begs to take unto itself fulfilled. Having all said and done and then to find folded in nine pencil-written pages a plea that breaks my heart to read. Where were these words when I listened for their sound? Might this be stability, or misconception only to the innocent two of two protect? And the third heart wounds anew as it seeks to impatiently balm that which can no longer heal. Still understanding not that time alone now can soothe the void created when tenderness we lost along our way. EWDrake © 2000 |

Maureen, jwesley, Ginners, Thank you for the kind words, this was the first attempt I had made in poetry in quite a while. As a firstborn of sorts, no matter the melancholy tone, it will stay a favourite. I'm glad you liked... *S* Evan |

I loved it, Evan. A great poem, sad, and conveying that feeling so well. Catalinamoon Practice can make anything perfect...even grief can become an art. Merrit Malloy |
