Gone Ii

Cerulean pools cascade slowly with glistening pain, tracing the gentle curve of your soft skin, caressing each contoured crease as if sweetly kissing your flushed cheek. Like the bright beaming rays that fall silent on the frozen blue of winters snow shadows, the crescent moon mirrors the secrets in the turned corners of your blushing lips, crimson window into your beautiful soul. Lost in your reflection you hide from you, unable to see what the world sees, unable to feel what I feel unable to know the special beauty you possess, the beauty that envelopes each person you touch with your magic embrace. Lost is the sound of your dulcet song from my longing ear, sweet melancholic words of your sad sorrow, buried deeply in your demon's hate filled ebon bosom, as it pushes the wonder that is you, the beauty that is you, the lost essence of you and only you, ever deeper inside of its lonely, cold, cruel hate, gone forever in dark emotion.

James, Congratulations on your awesome win. Thank you so much for supporting my contest. Stop by my blog "LAST CALL" if you like. ((( note from MEakaPD Thank you ALL for waiting and chilling, while I sat on the sideline. Since March 1st, I moved to the 4th largest city in the USA (by population.) One of the hardest decisions EVER-EVER!!! I will keep short on my visits until April 1st. After that, there's no holding me back LOL -unless God has other plans. Always & Forever ~LINDA~

Sorry for not responding to your nice comment, PD. Thank you for hosting another wonderful contest. Good luck to you in Houston. I lived there for about 4 months when I was 7, many many many years ago.

wow, very strong writing, my friend! One part of this reminds me of the topic "Lost" that I need desperately to try to write about befoer that contest fills up. this person is losing who she really is and I enjoyed the wonderful imagery you used to portray that.

You are 100% correct, Andrea. Such a beautiful person with so much pain in her but unwilling to let anyone help. Thanks for reading.

Such beautiful phrases of love that darken to sad emotions. This is the way my spouse changed. How sad for us.
