Beyond the storm I did not see,
how time stood still for you and me.
A ravaged heart that once was pure,
now but a remnant on the shore.
Love cast out upon the ocean,
heart now beats void of emotion.
Time stood still with sweet caress,
my heart longs for your tenderness.
Mind filled thoughts and fantasies,
midnight dreams that taunt and tease.
Escaping from reality,
in slumber deep it's you I see.
To see your face amid the night,
a shadow cast in sunshine bright.
A love denied that could not be,
has taken hold to strangle me.
Our silent cries can not be heard,
to us beknown unspoken words.
Searching eyes, in dawn's reflection,
new horizon new direction.
Like ocean tide love ebbs and flows,
within my heart love never goes.
Waves crash upon my eyes that weep,
in sands of time love buried deep.

this is a very beautiful poem in its sadness...
"A ravaged heart that once was pure,

I really get the sense here that your heart is left on shore, with love taken out with the tide...I like that..I would have liked to have seen more imagery and your heart as the 'remnant' on the shore explored more..nevertheless I really like this,,it flows well..thanks for entering my contest..
