Beyond the Solitude

in silence i stand wistful recollections censure this mind unfolding fragility of fate lost in soft shadows of time nothings irreplaceable death's cold hand touches me between the whispers and the sighs of lingering memories awakening deep inclinations that taunt me in your ruins silently abstracted one last tear fragile as raindrop falls beyond the clouds part in the break of dusk beauty unfolds the essence of soft shadows through a sunset serenade with trails of lilac mauves atop your grave the tulips whisper back through gossamer breeze as day fades to night i turn back misguided in silence i stand July 19, 2019 20 titles from 20 friends Poetry Contest Sponsored by Richard Lamoureux In silence I stand ...Craig Cornish Deep inclinations ...
