FALLEN AWAY

I look to the sky and see it shine,
Though it's no longer there.
I guess some things just burn so bright
They never lose the glare.

I made my wish with solemn kiss
And blew it to the skies.
Found nothing there but hot white air,
A pocket full of lies.

Heaven, shaken, dared awaken
That flame within soul.
That by the light of morning bright
All Darkness took its toll.

In solemn sorrow, dead tomorrow,
Streaking across the sky.
All eyes per chance to catch a glance
Of splendor slowly die.

In christened gleam, a whitewashed dream
Of Love fallen away.
Without a sound, crashes the ground
Of hope - now Yesterday.

Michael Anderson

For all behind was dark and drear,
And all before was night and fear.
How many hours of night or day
In those suspended pangs I lay,
I could not tell; I scarcely knew
If this were human breath I drew.

Lord Byron

this poem really moves me...
your expressions of loss are spoken with beauty in this one M,and the title is perfect.
take care, jm

Now for me some words come easy
But I know that they don't mean that much
Compared with the things that are said when lovers touch
You never knew what I loved in you
I don't know what you loved in me
Maybe the picture of somebody you were hoping I might be

Twas a sad poem, but very full of thought. I don't see very many people who can write with the same depth.

Michael, I have a name for my Nameless Poet friend....Tormented Shakespeare! LOL You have this agonized, passionate thing going that speaks volumes to my heart. Amazing what a little trauma can do to make poetry sizzle. You are incredible.
