Somewhere between a smile
and a sigh
the world swirled,
stopped
and set my soul
on fire
burning pictures
of life
as I knew it
Gusts
blow through me
leaving me cold
as the ice that threatens
to form
over yesterday's
love
This is not how it was supposed to be
This is not
what I expected
when I looked at your face
This is not
a reality
I ever wanted to explore
Now
closing my eyes
can't erase the words
won't replace the facts
refuses to change the future
nor
any tomorrow
I hold onto
the last vestiges
of colour, hope, faith
and pray
that we can
all
weather the storm
that approaches...
glad it is not your own...but still...it comes from feelings we all have or have had....the burning of the pics of life as we know it...been there...great way to put it...
ReplyDelete@Brian: Thanks Brian. Sadly, there is truth behind the words & it breaks my heart for all involved. May all parties whether this storm
Deleteoops, that would be 'weather' the storm.
DeleteI fail the spelling bee :(
Thanks for adding the post script, I was worried abut you for a second. Of course, I feel for the nameless subject of the piece (and sadly, can relate to some degree...), but am relieved to see that love still conquers all in your own life.
ReplyDeleteBe well!

(PS...I Don't know why, but my iPad doesn't like your blog. I just had to refresh several times to get this comment in...)
@Me: Well, you better get a new iPad then! :p
DeleteAnd if you can relate to a degree, then I have only one comment - only YOU can change that. I wish that the parties involved here had communicated better long before life came to pass in this way. Things happen for a reason though & it is not for me to say whether it is right or wrong.
And Yes, Communication & Love do indeed still rule my world :)
