A Tear Scripts Down Unsaid Vows

I I am Me or I And a name It is all I can feel An awareness so real But I am never enough The most I can be is my half My attention is in many pieces I flip between desirous to emptiness Trapped between my shadow and ghost My path has never changed but I feel lost My road to love passed though rose gardens Petals were illumined by stars when it darkened A beautiful fate beckoned with every eastern glow Sunset crowned days of romance with a lining of gold The days and nights became wheels spinning in the mud Felt like dismay of a rose flower withering within its bud As my undying love keeps breathing in a lovelorn heart My hands got too slippery to hold on to my beloved I still visualize the glittery of a band on her finger Before I see a glitter moisten a side of my eye A dream is lost in a dream as love lingers Love is true, heartbreak is a lie A tear scripts down Unsaid vows

Michelo, this is quite special. So many images carry the theme of your poem. And, writing in a shape poem is not easy! Sending you a virtual Kleenex to help dry your tears as you heal. Nicely done. Stay healthy
