The Shores of Alone

I waited for rose petals sweet
to drift upon my pillowed hair
I waited, but they never came
I slept alone with no one there.

I waited for the candles glow
to flicker round my bed at night
illuminators of romance
but love is no where in my sight.

I waited until I got bored
and bought a sheet of roses red
some candles of a fragrant scent
it seems I must make my own bed.

and in those shadows cast
awaits what's missing ...

love everlast

         you know you are missed
           when a name brings eyes to mist.

                       old or new, still kicking!!

Nice...sometimes we need to be alone to figure out if we're who we want to be...a time to focus on ourselves...but not for too long...James

and glad am I that you reposted this beauty - I think I missed it back then; my loss - until today.

BTW - had I known I'd have personally sent the roses and candles though a poor substitute they'd be. jimmy

You write so incredibly beautifully. Love has a funny way of showing up uninvited. It's there waiting to crash the right party. Your depiction of the wait lingers in my mind. I read it earlier and had to return. You have constructed a simply beautiful illustration of the absence of love...however temporary it may be. Warm wishes to you in all endeavors, including love.
