Love Is Lost As the Light Fades

While doves flutter, dying words whisper Silence becomes haunting and Angels sing A lone filtering light, a soft glister, casts a fleeting shadow from dove's wings As this arrowed light pierces the dusk grey, on bended knee I pray for you, My love Touching hard cold floor, where your casket lay Seeking unanswered questions from above ( The loss of love is far beyond love's means ) ( and tomorrow will see the end come true ) ( To know depth of sorrow when it convenes ) ( When light changes color to deeper blue ) ( To bow their heads in open palms and cry, ) ( as painful dark begins the day now new ) ( Love's last memory fades away to die ) ( and hearts now bleeding hide from times it knew ) No comfort did I find in your last breath Forgive me, as I taste this bitter wine Release me, from the vow I once confessed, by the shadow of your spirit confined ( This love once sworn is now of colder mind ) ( Desire dissolves leaving a vanquished shell ) ( Neither clings to fragments still left behind ) ( They search for springs to fill their empty well ) This last drop from the bitter wine I made Brings dark, silent dark as the cold light fades ( The passing of their moment won't be crossed ) ( and the bond between their hearts shall be lost ) contest Intermingle Frederic Parker 2/16/15 poem When Love is Lost 7/20/14 poem As the Light Fades 6/25/14
