I want to apologize to those who have sent me e-mails. I lost and forgot the password so they shut down my e-mail account. I will update my profile on here tomorrow after I register for a new 1. . . . No further words the poet speaks No skies of golden hue No tales of unrequited love They were lost when I lost you. No words to caress his lover’s heart gone to dreams he swore they’d live alone within - the poet dwells No uttered words left to give. No music swells within his soul Just silence surrounds his heart the solitude engulfs his world When the poet and love depart. And lost the beauty he once could see the glory he saw each passing day Now the poet pens his last farewell No more love can the heart convey. But what’s the poet’s soul to do? To release the love he feels For he’ll surely die and wither If that love he now conceals. He must hide the hurt and heartache, Just smile to friends and say “I’m fine love doesn’t matter”, And deceive them all that way. For a different face he’ll show them To barricade his unruly pain To hide his shattered spirit From the love he ne’er attained. The pain within shall kill him Not soon but through the years For the poet knows his anguish When alone - he sheds her tears. At night when dreams come calling, With her voice, her smile, her eyes A single tear upon his cheek Hides the pain his heart belies. For he loved her soul completely Was consumed by beauty's bliss Had shared her inner thoughts But never shared her kiss. So when death comes to the poet And to heaven his soul ascends He’ll smile before her beauty For eternity never ends. So will the poet regret the life Which stole away the years? No he’ll simply recall the love He felt in all her tears. When his love has joined him, they meet in heaven’s bliss, Their regrets will quickly perish As they kiss their first kiss. The words will quickly flow again From my thoughts, to hand, to book I’ll not write of God or Heaven When upon your precious face I look. So the poet’s again a poet For the words were always there I just didn’t see much beauty When your love I couldn’t share. So their souls find the love at last That in life they could not seek The poet soon finds the words in you The words he could not speak. Poetry is just the evidence of life. If your life is burning well, poetry is just the ash. " Leon Cohen~ [This message has been edited by trutodaraiders (01-31-2007 08:41 AM).] |

That's quite an ode you've written, heartfelt too. a good commitee can decimate communication. |
