My muse’s whispered apology...hands that touch and intertwine...smiles that fade... |
My muse’s whispered apology As it floats away Hiding from me Caressing me with its last words As it fades into the oblivion of forlorn insanity Leaving me alone Nowhere to turn but to my books and to my thoughts Hands that touch and intertwine Not feeling what is Not feeling what could be Not feeling the spark that has passed through them Ripping souls apart to the core Leaving them raw and exposed to the world Nowhere to turn but to each other Smiles that fade As understanding floods through Proliferating Seeping into every ignited cell Attempting to stifle the flames that burn heavily Leaving the sun’s scorching heat in its wake Nowhere to turn but to a cold moon to sooth the pain Whispered apologies, Sighing in the sweet relief of forgiveness Hands that intertwine Gripping each other desperately Smiles that fade Sending waves of saddened understanding Leaving souls bare and new Warmed yet cooled One with our small insignificant world But separated by thoughts and words that have been left unsaid. Everything leaving nowhere to turn but to another Leaving nowhere to turn but away from what you know Whispered apologies, hands that hold desperately, smiles that fade away Leaving nowhere to turn but to what should be |
