Gone But Not Forgotten

Trills tumble through an air long silenced warbled melodies enlighten the palate whistles delight but fly off to the thistle freighted by the frigid speak amongst the downturn of the day where blue skies lost their way Memories of warm caresses sing along in forgotten dreams eclipsed heat of destiny dealt away behind a curtain draping naked rays of beauty relegated to shroud in faded grey Faint knocks of glory soon heard where smiles seep in secret gone but not forgotten under blankets of hope a moon struck douse of patience left to awaken another day

This goes so well with the previous poem! I think some poems are more powerful for lack of a better word when read as a "series" if that makes any sense! Another great write!

This speaks to me on so many levels... Direct, indirect. It reads and tells, and underneath it speaks of longing. A 7 and a fave

This was a defining piece that speaks loudly of your talent my friend. Absolutely beautiful though the missing and the longing to revisit the one who created these memories is felt.
