Meg Anderson Poet Free verse

Haunting Face

I rot away in agony...
Will you release me from this torment?
Missing your touch... Seeps deep in my very bones...
I am devoured by your haunting face...

Were these sweet dreams that I remember even real?
For bearing these heavy burdens of our love...crushes me...
Little by little everyday the fairy tale fades away...
Your smile once lit up the horizon... now lay barren, tossed out to sea...
I am devoured... by your haunting face...

Arthur Vaso December 19, 2014 at 11:41 PM That's the idea of poetry, and then we also learn from life experiences how to better judge the true values of whats important in life and love, we even learn to see true beauty, differently! Meg Anderson December 19, 2014 at 11:52 PM Arthur, you are kind with your words. Thank you.
