Poem
My Velvet Princess As I dry these tears unbidden such a sad anniversary again claims my existence She’s gone; the light of my heart and song of my now desolate soul transcended to a place beyond my grasp and still a fledgling of right suffers an endless longing I see no truth in that time can heal all wounds for surely this one will prove to be mortal I persist on this coil through my stubbornness and the will of my creator, not by choice My most feverent desire is to hear a laugh and see a smile that is meant only for me Riding a hollow and worthless crescendo of success, achievement, and empty joy Illusion breaks a lot more to the skilled adept, so still I keep my misery to me, myself, and I In our time together I was mostly a simpleton jester and fool, never callous but bratty and overly protective So many; too many things left unsaid in the letters my heart never had the chance to send Although I’m sure she knew my one desire was always to please her and how much I truly cared Two of a kind, a princess and the scoundrel like peaches with cream so much love apparent and shared, now the wisp of a waking dream So now I stand alone after tasting the sweetness of bliss, one with all and yet none The only thing she ever showed me was love and sometimes it was tough, made Sang mad quite a few times and once or twice I even cried Then out of the blue on a sunny clear day she fell ill stopped breathing and died; I think a part of me with her So now my princess is an angel that watches and protects me from a place I feel so close and yet so far A past love yet lingers on in the absence of a present, even if in this life I never know love again the joy we shared meant the world to me and more And in time through space I will someday again behold the better half of my soul I shed today the occasional tear and smile every time she graces my thoughts in a song with no end composed of an infinite love by my angel, my velvet princess.
