lost now -
the aroma of his light
that once had lit the way
out of her own darkness
the fragrance of his love
cast in a thousand wisps of windblown time
and with the loss of these
these filaments of her
there remained
only her mind
and her heart
her mind now shattered into fragments
emptied of its life flow
it, too, began to disintegrate to dissolve
into tarnished memories
memories tainted by that demon time
fading into the forest of forgotten faces
leaving only her heart
the heart that once beat to the drums
of ancient mariners
that beat as one with his
now slowed to shallow pulses
flickering dimly in the night of her sorrow
disappearing into the dank void
of what had been -
lost now
the aroma of his light
that once had lit the way

and her heart
her mind now shattered into fragments

the heart that once beat to the drums

that beat as one with his

flickering dimly in the night of her sorrow
disappearing into the dank void
of what had been -
lost now

Another beautiful poem, that conjures what it's like to be be lost.
lost and can't find the trail in the dark, cowboy! surely the light will come soon! as they say, the sun also rises! ;)
Beaucoup de mélancolie dans ce poème et les mots qu'il faut pour faire passer l'émotion déjà présente dans le portrait qui l'accompagne si bien.
Belle journée à toi,
Roger
A beautiful melancholic one for sure!
You are creating up a storm here, Gypsy. Sorry I've missed so much lately.
