i'm deeper, much deeper than you might think,
my heart so shady, shadowy lies;
a maudlin fraction,
of it's former vibrant self.
back in childhood, i loved you,
you shone like radiant, fiery stars;
with wickedness you danced,
but, alas, i did not care.
my memories are but psychosomatic,
as i yearn for your bright laughter to return;
master of sorrow am i,
the one you left behind.
caustic images remain,
tantalising my crafty mind,
that leads like jafar's spiral staircase,
to a love long left behind.
defeatism towers o'er my ancient soul,
tis tortured by the past;
i think of you upon heaven's cloud,
immune from life's cruel wrath.
so, sleep soundly holy lady, and
oft steal my train of thought,
my threadbare heart will miss you,
and the life, your zest, but wrought.

beautiful lyrics to a very beautiful pic i think you did a great job penning this poet it was a pleasure to read

wow this is a very melancholic poem. While reliving the memories of the past you wonder about this lady who has long departed from your life, leaving you with regrets. Now if this is literal and your love really did die, I can understand the haunting regrets you probably harbor. Good choice of words as well...this is a great write!
Good Luck!
