a few hours to dawn,
as we sit by the window tonight
looking at distant lights
|
how long shall we
let thunder
fill our pauses?
|
will you not sing
one parting song
for all those years?
|
i’d understand if you didn’t.
like a receding wave
and the shore,
this is as close as we could get.
|
as you turn away
from my gaze
i wonder –
if a memory was stuck in my eyes?
|
as you stare in to the horizon
are you looking ahead?
or still looking back?
|
why don’t you shed one tear?
or beam a smile of hope?
even glaciers give in to rivers…
|
it is a tired moment–
no future to be seen,
no past recalled.
|
one feeling
morphed in to another
and morphed in to yet another
a spiral of unseen emotion
engulfs my life, today.

Lovely poem.
this was painful, well written. sometimes love dies in one heart and lingers in the other.
