Lost to Time Under cover of moon I bared my thoughts drifting in and out of want, realizing the connection is missing. Unspoken now, the words will keep, will feed my soul with a passion lost to time. A world away, my thoughts will become, as I choose my aloneness over what could have been. The still of my heart surprised me, what use to scream now just a faint whisper, a maybe or perhaps some day to eclipse the gray, overshadowing the weakness of my being. No tears, no emptiness, just a calmness as if I am seeing myself for the first time and learning that I will keep. I go to my bed with fragments, carboned words, slightly smeared, and light one last candle, a midnight's calling to melt away what isn't there. M "Love is not blind - It sees more and not less, but because it sees more, it is willing to see less." (Will Moss) [This message has been edited by nakdthoughts (11-26-2002 12:12 AM).] |

Maureen~ This is a beautiful but sad poem. A world away, my thoughts will become, as I choose my aloneness over what could have been. Very Touching...Paul |

It reads sad, but it also holds strength... and if it is how you feel, please hold strength as close to yourself as you can... Regards, Sudhir |

Wynter~ 'No tears, no emptiness, just a calmness as if I am seeing myself for the first time and learning that I will keep.' Such a soft bestow of thoughts~ *Huglets* ~*Marge*~ ~*The pen of the poet never runs out of ink, as long as we breathe.*~ |

The last verse is the candle bright -- the preceding ones are the smoke issuing from it. |

No tears, no emptiness, just a calmness as if I am seeing myself for the first time and learning that I will keep. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ And there's the calm after the storm. Hugs, Deb |
