Loomed in Reflection
~~~


I'll  be  watching  the  road  to  eternity
perhaps
I'm  just  basting  cries
to  the  hopes  of  attracting  a  moonbeam
a  reflection
within  your  eyes
A  twisted  path
from  dawning  time
that  leads
through  push  and  shove
A  breeze  that  moans
through  bows  aloft
and  swirls  the  dust  of  love
~
My  footstep
stubbed  a  root
so  gnarled
I  tumbled
astray  the  path
Though  I  returned
to  sacred  ground
my  fate  so  befalls  your  wrath
~
I  stand  alone
amongst  the  weeds
where  a   Fragrant  Rose
once  bloomed
I  cannot  see
nor  feel  the  warmth
within  your  heart
entombed
~
And  still  the  years
creep  past  forever
dark  shadows  now  veil  the  skies
Your  rose  defies
a  memory's  tether
No  reflection
within  your  eyes
~~~

an insightful journey, stay away from those roses, they have thorns that make you bleed!

Rex, I must agree with the others, it is a lovely poem. A somewhat fragile tale of yearning and reluctant resolve. You're good at this poetry stuff, you know?
