Vanished Like Mist





                                               Vanished Like Mist


Now I wonder, ponder, persuade the mind to wander in an abyss of what may be

Plowed and clawed then probed to find a reason for frenetic rumblings within me

As time passed unabated, skin hides pain beneath waves of what these eyes see

The heart trembled: is myopia or enmity reason why I have not found Amy Lee?


Love is not a game man coerces into submission then drags its spirit underwater

Auguring, kneeling, begging will not make it acquiescent to what one may prefer

Precious memories evoked by the hungry heart impalpably depart and disappear

What remains are remnants, reminders of the haunting past...that I had lost her
