Meandering Musings

Missing image

Fate is fickle, within silken wishes,

lost in dreams, as stars softly fade.

Hearts don’t lie, inside soft silent kisses,

like crystal memories replayed.

 

His cunning smile, is just a facade,

from scars suffering in silence.

Shimmering in red, that one summer odd,

where shifting sands eclipsed sight’s sense.

 

In a bashful glance, our yesterday’s gone,

only in dreams, spoken in vain.

As silhouettes dance, the river flows on,

where the truth unfurls in the rain.

 

Let my words be few, and my actions sing,

and let love cleanse my soul from pain.

Author notes

Use at least 5 of these phrases in your poem

in silken wishes
shimmering in red
like crystal memories
lost in dreams
as stars softly fade
spoken in vain
only in dreams
hearts don't lie
as silhouettes dance
that one Summer
his cunning smile
suffering in silence
and fate is fickle
a bashful glance
yesterday's gone

    WOW as tears fall in messages that exude from your words of wonder to my soul in ways I can't describe from such thoughts that are whirling in the shadows of my mind. the PIc itself sent chills upon my spine not cuz of the write but cuz today of days the image made me think of the passage to heaven and today would had been Mom's bday if she was still here on Earth and not with the angels. well done and many blessings always xxxxxx Love you always your sis-Star xxxx

    Every line of this was magic....beautifully sad and filled with such emotion flowing like a song

    "Hearts don’t lie, inside soft silent kisses,
    like crystal memories replayed."

    I love those lines, but I loved all of this...
    You are amazing

    A very deep and heartwrenching piece.

    I would cleanse your soul and make you whole
    if He would allow
    I know your heart feels torn apart
    I'd mend it if i knew how

    So instead I simply pray and do it everyday
    just in hopes He'll listen
    I think of you I truly do
    and really...its you I'm really missing


    Love
