Spring Is Never Far Off

Listen as the wind whispers
secrets of my lost past.
It howls at my melancholy miseries,
shrieks at my heinous sins,
warning me of a fatal future 
that is sure to be my looming last.
 
My destiny lies in my hands 
as I linger in indecision
with your shadow in my heart.
For I cannot stop loving you
I cannot live a normal life
I hunger for food of love,
Only I can find none.
 
Whither shall I go?
The future is dark and uninviting.
My past is filled with fear,
my present is full of sorrow.
I think of you and my starved heartbeats
in dangerous arterial fibrillation.
I close my eyes in anguished hope
but cannot calm my tattered nerves
as the wind continues with its howls
for winter is sure to extend its days
although I believe and sincerely hope
that sublime spring is coming soon.

"I think of you and my starved heartbeats in dangerous arterial fibrillation" -- I am no stranger to this deep loneliness...having to often remind myself to keep embracing greater humanity -- Faith endures me. Blessings my friend.

Like heartfelt words between friends that will never meet, the changing of the seasons can be bitter sweet, your poem has an inkling of sadness which may be hard to cope, but deep down my dear Victor I know your heart is filled with hope. ....... Your poem is hauntingly beautiful my friend. A favorite from me.
