What's Left of Me

What's Left of Me Since you left, I'm but a ghost - a figment of who I used to be, as the essence of soft shadows follow me. The sun has lost its golden glow and the moon its silver halo. My heart aches to be free for without you, I'm not me, and since you left, I'm but a ghost. Since you left, I’m only a specter - an entity suspended in time, locked in a maze, blending with the essence of soft shadows. A prisoner of gray, misty dreams, I’m doomed to love you until the sands of time run out, and black holes spill their dark secrets. Fading since you left, I'm only a specter. 05-09-2018

Died and In Heaven Above So sad you no longer are my love, And did fly off like a diligent dove; No longer here, My precious dear; Have died and are in heaven above.

This is a winner Pandita, from the fan mail and comments here! Loved the space metaphor, "[until] black hole spill their secrets." But the speaker in the poem is more resilient, more love-ly, and will enjoy art till ART yields another hope-filled heart.
