Only In My Mind

Only in my mind
Will I hold your hand
Only in my mind
Will I speak the truth
Only in my mind

Winters have passed
And summers have gone by
But your touch still belongs to someone else
And my soul cries
Like a violin in an empty orchestra

Clouds in the sky
Trees whisper your name
The sea stirs beneath the abyss
My tears fall
The moon casts its silvery shadow on earth

Only in my mind
Will I admit
My friendship has died
And my hope
And my soul.

Thanks for sharing this... exposing your thoughts through your unique poetic style. Meanwhile, I greet you with the love of the Lord, expressed by John 3:16 of the Bible, "For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life." Be blessed.
