Kelli White Poet Carpe Diem

So Far Away

Once I held you close
My dear sweet loveless soul
So rigid cold jagged your
Edges left unrepairable scars
Tears caress my cheeks
Lingering in the fine lines
Of age so dimly left by time
But it was always you 
Every dream every plan
You were just deaf to 
My words my meaning
Distance blackened my heart
At times I felt dead
But until your ashes 
Filtered through my hand 
Despair disjointed tenderness
No longer alive and well
Or was it ever?
If but Love would it have 
Died as fast as you?
I ask but I cannot answer
For I do not know
Lonely despair and emptiness
A void left unfilled
Miracles are madness
Faith is undaunting
Hope is but a glimmer 
Of the next light of day.
