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!!!
