Alexis Y. Poet Rubaiyat

Lost

Where are you? My friend and most cherished one,
Throughout the years we have had so much fun
How could I Live without you in my life?
Don't you recall the victories we've won

You left without saying one single word
As I searched for you, silence was all I heard
What did I do to cause you to vanish 
The fact that you left was so absurd 

Now that you're gone, I cry a river of tears
How can I alone face my many fears
My tomorrow looks bleak and very dark
Am i supposed to just stop and shift gears

You are the light of my of tortured soul
In your presence i felt completely whole
Without you my dear muse, I am so lost
When we're in sync we achieve many goals

Pashang Salehi March 15, 2018 at 2:18 AM Very nice Alexis..... Believe it or not I have a Rubaiyat with the same name "Lost". Ironic, since Rubaiyat is not very popular style because it is a very difficult form.

Freddie Robinson Jr. August 1, 2017 at 4:14 PM That aloneness is an embrace we all must feel from time to time. Your poem eloquently expresses that state of being. When God is all we have to turn to, it is the best condition to be in. A sad and powerful poem! A fave for sure. Love and joy always.

Andrea Dietrich July 30, 2017 at 9:01 PM A sad story that afflicts many people, lost love. Well done!

Heidi Sands July 28, 2017 at 3:06 PM Dear Alexis. Your friend is there and this poem is wonderful. I am sure many can relate to times like this :) Take care Alexis Y. July 28, 2017 at 3:10 PM Hi Heidi, Thank you so much. I appreciate you stopped by:-) Alexis

Jan Allison July 28, 2017 at 2:16 PM Oh Alexis I see so many with missing muses and there is such apathy on the site recently and friends missing which makes me really sad. We need a missing muse society where we can call on other members for inspiration - I certainly would join:-) Having read your poem I don't think you have any worry about your muse she's just playing tricks with you!:-) hugs jan xx Alexis Y. July 28, 2017 at 3:09 PM Hi Jan, Thanks for such a wonderful comment. I think I would join such a society too. I appreciate that you stopped by:-) Alexis
