Beyond the Falls

Beyond the Falls

Your emerald eyes  aren’t smiling
teardrops stain your face 
your anguish grips me and we share                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                 
 a final sad embrace.

The thundering silver waters
offer no reprieve
the fine mist wraps  around us
time has come and I must leave.

 The haunting echo of Niagara 
 says you’ll never leave my mind,
had we met much sooner I’d not
be leaving you behind.

Like two caged birds forced apart,
no hope, no chance to fly
I’ll yearn for you silently
until the Falls run dry.

I’m joyous for the time we had 
days of just a few
you filled my life with wonderful
Niagara  Falls with you.

CayCay Godwin July 2, 2016 at 6:39 PM This is a lovely, emotional flow packed with poetic lines that grip. It is almost always a mystery to me what people do and don't comment on and that is true right now. A mystery. Write on, Liz, because I see and feel creative, raw talent and would like to read more ... CayCay
