Best Romancesky Poems
I saw my last sunset,
I watched the whole miraculousness of the dawn begin,
As if it were the last I'd ever see.
And yet, I can't recall seeing one before it.
Now the night sky is the only sky I shall ever see.
I am flesh and blood yet not human.
I walk the dark streets in the pouring rain
looking for a way to end my suffering.
I hunger, I feed.
The souls of the innocent have not yet begun
to acknowledge my existance.
Yes, I have a lingering respect for life.
Does our kind frighten you?
Do we fascinate you? Mystify you?
Are you curious to know what entices us?
We thirst for love just as you,
cut us, we bleed.
Hurt us, we feel.
We hide in the shadows and wait.
Can you see me?
The Sun has just reached it's nest
leaving the Earth in the twilight zone;
evening sky is hovering above
with a veil of gloomy pink colour,
silhouettes of flying birds in the West
only add to my melancholy,
the lurking depression again trying
to creep into my mind.
But the sky above never lied to me;
hundred of miles away from you,
as I look at it in solitude,
I can feel your every moments there;
this evening sky tells me
how was the day today for you...
when you caressed the roses of your garden,
or completed your last poem,
when you smiled carelessly
relishing our blissful moments;
as for now,I can feel that with a deep sigh
you are also looking at the pink sky there
as if to share our moment of love;
I must say again...
'Love thy name is Eternity.'
