Footmarks of Lost Love

I have watched winds fade away, her foot marks in the sand Watched, as the sight of her got swallowed in a distance Her last words still echo like a loud whisper in my mind Last words whose meaning is difficult to find “Good” and “bye” should never bond It’s full of bad, its sound and its tone Kisses and hugs are for a moment But their absence is a great torment Love craves for a lifetime and beyond Love prays for a lifetime till all recitations are gone Good and bye cannot be friends There is no good which means an end Apart and away, who will watch me like her eyes did Apart and away, who will touch me like her hands did Apart and away, who will call me like her voice did Apart and away, who will know me like mind did Tides of tears flow in the cracks of my heart Memories and fears fill up the emptiness inside Promises and dreams are like a dim light Suffocated like loneliness in the darkest night Building inside me were melodies and words That shot out and diffused in the air They floated around, lost like flightless birds They search for flowers and found them nowhere Surrounding me are walls with no photogragh to hang on An audience to a show without an act or a song A stroll without a companion A call with no ears to fall on Tracks of love, tracks of her Tracks of love, marks of her Foot marks of love, is all I see when I stare Foot marks of love, that lead me to nowhere

Your simplest words can carry the most weight when you make the reader feel them and not just hear them and you do this well. You have managed to capture a human experience filled with emotions, and weaved them into a poem that comes from the heart, both expressive and meaningful. Emile.
