Memories in the Wind

Missing image

whispers, so beautiful
call to me...
how softly I recall how your words touched,
yielding without flinching
I allowed you my heart,

naivety now screams above the thunder
eyes toward bitter winds
sting with conviction,
desolate cold beckons me
embracing contradiction's scorn,

apology falls delinquent
as tears glaze over our moon,
how fierce shall a soul shatter
deluged in a monsoon of lies?,

held by grips of sinking feelings
I cling to yesterday's voice,
my only salvation
is when I hear memories in the wind.

    Oh such a sad piece, to have given one's heart without flinching and then to have is scorned. Beautiful imagery indeed in this.
    My best wishes to you.

    Very nice, a different take on what most have had so far in this contest. Sad and regretful, but she has all of infinity to cope with it.

    Good luck to you, and thanks for entering our contest.

    Very beautiful write and such imagery as to find one lost between the lines adrift the winds of one's own memories resurrected. The flow is so eloquent that no one favorite line or phrase can come to mind. It blends so well under a masters pen.  Again a very beautiful write.

      I made you cry.. I'm sorry. I know my poem starts out soft, then the *realness* comes out. Sigh---but it is what it is huh?, when it comes to risking love. You live, you learn, you RUN!
      Much love sweetness
