As your footsteps become all the more faint the silence is liquifying my emotions You left my feelings drifting aimlessly away with the current far beyond the melancholic waterfall only to have to work their own way back to the deserted shore At times I think I see you...I blink then your image fades away Like a ray of sunlight I can still feel your warmth yet it is only the shadows of futility that I am able to embrace I can't look ahead towards the future until I manage to dig myself out of this grave from the past To find a love as perfect as the love we once had the very gods of humility I will have to implore All the affectionate memories of my life up to that point I have tried in vain to suppress that which was most important to me is all I have been able to recall Solace from this predicament is all I presently choose to seek as my spiritual being tries to cure itself from this weakening disease through every tender droplet streaming down my cheek Staring into the sun just makes you blind to what beauty actually exists in the sky. |

Very enchanting. You've expressed beautifully, the futility of trying to re-discover 'perfection'. Writing (for me anyway) is the best way of dealing with these trials. Jim Sullivan |

Thank you Poet deVine, I try to use as much abstract and metaphoric imagery as I can. Staring into the sun just makes you blind to what beauty actually exists in the sky. |
