gone...


the cast in the mirror
grayed by the fogged mind
sighing for the words to find
the elusiveness of you

the need to create
what once was, to fuel the fire
tempts me to reach out
steal from you a touch

the loneliness, corners me
the emptiness speaks louder
than the silence of you
and I stare, wondering

what is its meaning?
why does it weave me
to complication, paint me flat,
a victim of the calm before the storm?

no longer can I hold pen to paper
and see you there, between the lines,
no longer is your shadow
appearing, to guide my thoughts

as I walk the hallways, that window
of opportunity is now locked
the power, the drive that once edged me
ever closer to you is gone

~A~

Alice this is excellent writing I can’t recall the last time I ever felt the emotion so strongly. These particular lines are really some of your best

as I walk the hallways, that window
of opportunity is now locked
the power, the drive that once edged me
ever closer to you is gone


Very well written


love and warm stuff
as always
Krissy

And while thy willing soul transpiers
at every pore with instant fires
