Forever In Your Heart

0 posted 2005-11-18 05:19 AM



Nights darkness grows,
be still my heart,
colder, a wind blows,
freezing every part,

Feeling goes numb,
no longer exsisting,
eyes are dark plumb,
memory keeps insisting,

Nothing have I become,
tomorrow I resist,
my heart is undone,
no pulse at the wrist,

Loves grave, open wide,
bury deep, memorys token,
where I go to hide,
a heart dies, broken,

Pieces lay smashed,
all torn and shattered,
dreams died, crashed,
none of it really mattered,

Memorys ghost will appear,
playing tricks on the mind,
A true love sincere,
all that is left behind.

when your memory ghost appears again,
Take a deep breath and know only strength and good, today will bring.

I class these two stanzas as a poem by themselves, they could easily stand alone-
My favorites of the piece, although the rest is very well done.

The poem fits your username very well..You can tell it comes straight from "A Romantic Heart"...

Enjoyed

Dear Lady ARH,

I felt a great sadness, reading this poem; a feeling of hopelessness, reaching out from the deepest abyss of an aching human heart.  I would venture to say that we have all felt like that at some point in our lives, though many of us would have kept those feelings suppressed. But I feel human hearts have a great capacity to heal, to be reborn - if we only let them.

There is a Light leading us out of the darkness...just look to the stars...and it will show us the way...

A beautiful, heart wrenching write.
