A Love Poem

If my love we must part Let us part under shroud of night Who I ask is afraid of the dark? Tiss I who fears the darkness when you depart Times passing shall never lessen the pain within I suffer so, longing for your poetry Until Until one day I dream of you We are bound together, by words and prose Desires bring back memories long faded Final notice, seems so harsh Your note of departure, a rupture A love poem to say a whispered goodbye I shall cherish the laughter and the pain Declarations of unity made in passions heat Alone in your satin sheets, do I weep Delicate verses of our devotions I sing and rhyme them, lost in my own illusions Moments like this, I loiter in my solitude Memories seeking comfort in your soft embrace Eyes, oh how they burned into my soul Eyes that used to kiss my very heart Poetry shall never lay claim to the depths Of our infernally burning passions Forget me nots grow, in my forgotten garden Forgetting is killing me so Sublime and grey are many a mundane day I wither and fade, for its moments like this So close to heaven, so close to a burning hell I have sailed the seas of desire, only to sink My sunken footsteps lie below My broken heart Notes: I happened upon a poet here, T.Nicole Williams, and below is a list of the poems she has posted here. Something just clicked and I said wow, even her poem titles are a poem!!! After reading a few of her poems, I quite enjoyed her style and expression, and thus, I wrote a poem based on all her poem titles! I quite enjoyed this, as the idea was so random and by chance, so I hope you all like this poem, as well as I hope she is flattered to have inspired this little piece!!!
