It was not like you granted me my wishes,
Do you, I never asked for a single kiss;
nor were I thinking about such hollowed ways--
Indeed I have followed unintelligibly
parting with my heart—held within your hands,
To the laughter—scarcely I have smiled--
but leave not that to such a mind
I’m smiling within—glowing that tainted white.

Ask me of heaven; dreams mounted on dreams,
missing a sigh—bow to the strings of flight
highest seems the unexplainable emotion--
but lowest seems this bond we held
be it strange to say it’s the saddest,
Withdrawn—but even in the missing pieces--
that least walked path seems more forgiving
than the parting to another—envy did exist.

Another said reversed;
become content with what you have.
I have done the heavenward prayer--
though sin was coursing through my veins
failures’ seem to cling onto silver wings,
That darkness—among the admiration--
fearfulness wakes in the depths
hearing only thoughts of a time long ago.

With all the sound now departing,
are we still so weak.
Our solace is, widowed—
And I’m still down feeling
the bluest of blues;
Even if that means I’ve drowned.

I appreciate your ability to SEE beyond the appearances and I admire your talent for stringing your thoughts so beautifully together.

... I can hear the powerful splash of water bringing you back into the glory of a new day.


Love,
Margherita
