Abandoned Love

Abandoned Love Wild, natural, without care you stand hidden, unnoticed A secret, brambles briars bluebells dance wild flowers grow. Haunted laughter, echoes of youth carried by the summers Breeze, our tomorrow’s and yesterday’s forever stolen, lost. Dancing with angels, love leaves, foundations cracked our Hearts ripped out, no concealer to cover our age, past secrets, Or imperfections, crumbling within, our souls decaying, forgotten love. Rustic slates once dark, discoloured, lightened, faded by nature, Shutters unpainted weathered, hanging loose, hinges long gone. The stench of damp and partisans, paradise unkempt, last breath not long. Remnants of days glorious glistened in our imaginations leapt, Mourning, ashamed, its rafters bowed, back broken, brought To its knees, time unforgiving, grips, teeth clenched, no respite, No redemption, no reflection of its shame. For sale a heartbeat Without a home, and still no memories to call my own, Someone else's dream awaits and ours another path doth take. Separated never more to search lost forever, what may have been? Apart, never to walk through our Own purely gates. And the seasons in their wisdom wait as Loves slow death recedes And the sun kissed ocean waves goodbye to a love realised, But to shallow to embrace, discarded, abandoned Love.
