A Question of Love

Loves promenades towards emptiness
	longing is a void
darkness of a million universes
where mythical black holes
chant of timeless desires

Yearning for carnal eternity
where candles never die


Two of us
	never met
	oceans apart
	gasping for affections
	in different times
	winds may have swept
	this way or that
	never seen

Wind and candle lie in death
so lost
in emptiness

Carolyn Devonshire Date: 7/16/2018 12:30:00 PM Arthur, I can relate to the loneliness in this write. Sometimes it seems like ages since we've made a strong connection with someone. Having encountered so many wonderful people on this website, there are many I long to meet in person. Excellent writing, my friend. Hugs, Carolyn Login to Reply

Daniel Turner Date: 7/15/2018 1:11:00 AM Beautifully sad, Arthur. Then not really because at least they found each other or made that connection. Real love is in the heart. The physical part is a choice. Really nice write:) Login to Reply
