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
~~~

A beautiful poem about a sad subject.

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

That last stanza just sums it up perfectly.

If she who dies with the most toys wins, then can I have some toy boys please?

What reflections in the weave
you've wove
a treasure of love that's lost
you've spread before the eyes
to see
the terrible and mighty cost

Thanks everyone ... I can't remember what inspired this poem ... I guess, just my mood at the time
