I Am Your Destiny

The day will come, my dear…

When you will finally realize
There will be no further denying me
No escaping from what destiny
Has planned for thee

I have tolerated your indifference for
Far too long
Remained in the shadow of your life
While you gallivanted here and there
And everywhere with nary a thought of me

Well…
My dear
I have waited through the years
Through all your laughter 

And…

Through your tears…

And..

That time...

When life had let you down
That autumn when you laid
yourself upon the ground
So close to me
And for a moment
I thought that you were mine

But…
Again…

You turned away from me
Your mind and soul on fire
Captured, enraptured
By the beauty of
That last leaf
Of autumn
Falling from the tree
A crimson flame 
That threw itself upon the wind
To fly away…free at last


Then...

I watched you rise
And walk away
Lost to that
Moment in time

That moment…

That quickly erased the thought of me 
From your mind

But Alas, my dear
I have all the time in the world

So…

I wait for you
Knowing one day
You will come to me
For I am your destiny

And…

Thank you John. I love to write! I actually got in a lot of trouble in the early years in school for drifting off in class in what the teachers referred to as...FLIGHTS OF FANCY. lol. Elaine

Love this "on borrowed time" piece. This is the kind of stuff I also like to write, so an extra way to go, dear Lainie

This is a haunting piece and visually interesting as well.

Thank you Richard, P.S to an earlier reply with reference to searching for my best poems in the search engine. It is not the poetry soup search engine, but the internet search engine. I am going to read your poems now. Elaine
