night winds etched your face
into the far side of the moon
and shadow birds danced
on waters of broken promises
last chances and
what could
have been
as the sun singed your heart
into the star-filled skies
and shadow birds danced
on clouds of discontent
dysphoria and
what could
have been
and the storm spun your soul
into the deep dark abyss
as shadow birds danced
on the edge of the cliff
and the winds etched
and the sun singed
and the storm spun
you
away
as
shadow birds
danced
on my
love’s grave

Very powerful - the echo of love that's gone.
many thanks for the kind words alex - perhaps love just no longer expressed - but then, that does mean it's gone - at least somewhere else, doesn't it? - so lovely to have you drop by!
Did you think that I would not find you? Even if you deserted that special unspoken place, saying that you had nothing more to say, or sing, or shout…
But I found you from faraway
Your words still as beautiful as ever
Yearning for a love long gone
But isn't this the reality of Life? We've all got a raw deal down here, a very raw deal I tell you...
And one of those days I will shout you those very words from my own grave, that's how it is...
I wonder… I wonder how cold I will feel in my own grave, away from my love of always, away from my friends, away from you. Colder than this -30° night, I don't know, don't really bother.
A very raw deal, I tell you… Can cold eyes be shivering?
Roger
the beautiful phrases almost dispels the sadness.
You're back! Is their acceptance in this beautiful poem?
dear roger - but i have not gone away - and my heart thanks you for your kind kind words - and it's cold here as well, with temps hovering at about 2degrees F today - just remember, with the winter, spring cannot be far behind - and with the spring, the flowers come - i miss seeing your beautiful images of those glorious flowers there - in the meantime, though, i do come by your place and visit to see what you've been up to - it's always a ray of sunshine for me -
almost dispels, perhaps, pat...almost...but for my heart...
i don't know trish - intellectually, perhaps - emotionally, in my heart, never...
Can you double post stuff from magazine? Love the piece on shadows you did for them!
It's always very sad when a love ends. You captured the pain Gypsywoman! Happy New Year dear, I haven't forgotten you!
trish - the cold has my brain chilled so i'm not quite sure what you're asking??? ;)
the magazine post is just a compilation of 3 pieces done at different times - with shadow dance done last week or so - and the other 2 done maybe even a couple of years ago - they are all on my blogs - YM does not retain copyright on pieces submitted to them, according to their site -
please let me know if i've not answered what you're asking - so sorry to be so dull today! ;)
and many thanks - so glad you liked -
oh, how wonderful to have you drop by, francesca! thank you so much for the visit and the kind words - and many many best wishes for a fabulous 2013 to you and yours! ;)
I do see acceptance in this piece, or at the very least awareness that it's gone
acceptance...perhaps...
thank you so much for coming by and leaving a few words!!!
"GypsyWomanWorld" has been included in the A Sunday Drive for this week. Be assured that I hope this helps to point even more new visitors in your direction.
