Gone are the days of effervescent glow.
Your face, now hidden from me, causes tears.
Missing the slow dance which we two have shared,
I grip my bear in my arms and sway.
Gently moving my body to and fro,
my face leans in for a comforting kiss.
Though tenderness is offered from his love,
my soul still aches from lack of love you lent.
Searching the skies, gazing throughout the land,
my eyes view naught but darkness, you have gone.
Where you have hidden, I know not the place.
Where you are finding love... I imagine.
Imaginging you in her ivory arms,
knowing your lips caress her palid cheeks,
feeling betrayal within my soul's heart...
tears begin their slow trail through deep sadness.
Squalid within, stone without... I still break.
Do you expect me to stand tall in spite...
in spite of your absence which leaves a void,
while the darkness only becomes darker.
I beg God to return your love to me.
I beg Him to return the light you gave.
I beg Him to put you back in your place...
in the sky above so we'll dance again.
Though others may claim the right to your heart,
you have been, are now, and always will be,
the man I crave each night before I rest,
the man in the moon's face whom I do love.
You are my light, my heart, my soul, my moon...

truly sad piece.....
I can definitely relate to this. I've been there twice before.

This is so sad and honest. It's amazing how much we can love and cherish a person and not having those feeling returned just rips us apart. The flow of this is so smooth and flawless, it's just gorgeous. Your word choice gives this calm feeling of sadness to the piece. I really love this, wonderful job dear.

this poem is so raw and honest. it's always hard to recover after the abuse, especially with the memories and the good parts of the abuser.. but still, there's the emotional and physical turmoil juxtaposed side to side. wonderful feeling expressed here

So you are trying to get all these poems of yours on one page now are you? It is hard to keep track when you have three of them - hope all is well and that you are keeping busy. Sentiments well expressed in these lines - easy to read and understand.

Wow, it's so emotional and heart breaking, especially the last stanza, the imagery is superb and I can almost feel your pain, good work

You always have such a beautifully expressive writing style! I guess that's what has and always will attract me to your poetry!

Well Done,
This is a very deep piece, very heart-felt, and moving.. You do pen very well, and the way you lay down your heart of love is beautiful. I hope every seed you plant of tenderness, comes back to you a 100 fold.
Much love sis, Brother Timothy~

Thanks for the entry. However, I'm going to have to disqualify this-- the poem exceeds the line limit, which was 30 lines. Sorry and thanks again!
