Echoes of Your Love

I know we've said once before
We can't go back to times before
But how can I dim this light
When you whisper to me in dark of night...
Today and always I'm in your heart

This carousel that I ride on
Keeping me in conflicting spin
Between reality of you not here
And dreams of what could have been
So, around and around these feelings whirl
As I try to dismount from the ache of turmoil
And ask myself with exhausted breath
What more could we have changed
If my only wrong was believing
You loved me every day

Since you chose to leave this home
Your memory still a flirtatous taunt
Like the dates circled on calendar page
That change in theme each month
And so I plea with all my might
With each drop of ink from pen
To release me from the solitude
Where my heart is caged inside a dream
This place amid the hush of echoes
Of love you hold for me...
Today and always I'm in your heart

'I know we've said once before

But how can I dim this light
When you whisper to me in dark of night...
Today and always I'm in your heart'

Beautifully written poem from you, coco! Wonderful expression of such longing!

everytime I close my eyes, I see your face, I taste you on my lips...
every night I fantasize that I can feel you on my fingertips...

Sad but sooooo CAPTIVATING. Love it!

A quarter of a century must pass, for the writer to understand what and why he writes.

I LOVE THIS!!!
what an expressive impassioned plea and purge
wonderful writing Coco
just laying it all out on your sleeve and the page...

"Your memory still a flirtatous taunt

what a very cool metaphor that is...
excellent work poetess!!

I chose to read this poem because of the title,looking for the echoes which I understood to be the candle shape of the concrete poem nicely done.

This carousel that I ride on
Keeping me in conflicting spin
Between reality of you not here
And dreams of what could have been

Sometimes those echoes whisper and sometimes they scream... and neither voice gives answers. This is powerful and painful... well done, Coco!

Suthern, thank you for your comments and I concur with what you said in reply with regards to perhaps the echoes may sometimes be whispers or in some cases crying screams and btw I'm truly glad you let me know that you stopped by

Jon, thank you for your kind reply and I'm pleased to know that you've enjoyed my poem
