Unreturning Poems | Examples


Premium MemberThe Echo Returns Naught - Mar 16

Shouting across the void, I’ve begged for you;
I’ve heard my straining voice fall lost to the
Abyss between us two; Ignoring my plea,
The echo returned not, no answer due. 

Peering into the gulf—oh! what a view—
Reflection there was none, no none to see;
Heeding thus firstly your true nihility, 
The echo unreturning, I turned from you. 

The echo returns not and neither I.
Forging my faith on solid ground, on earth,
I abandon your illusory hope— 
And doing so I leave a dry well dry.
Away with all your falsly minted mirth,
With the true love of my life I elope.

The Unreturning

The moon is out 
 Wolves are howling cloud-peaking 
 When I am far away from gone 
 Dead to return upon thee world 
 There watched I for the dead 
 Walking upon peering grave no ghost woken 
 Gloaming darkness among the gusty wind blowing through me 
 Feeling flesh still burning ashes falling within the light 
 Lost in darkness, I fear of shadows my sorrow; I could not awaken 
 The unreturning endureth for ever 
 Darkness and Rootless hear me moan awaken in chains it wore
 Breathe in the ghostly air watch upon the graves from hell
 Lingering across the land the unreturning 
 Will not returning 
 Many tears within the sleepless hours 
 Moaning but never heard 
 The unreturning with no return

Sent Anonymously

It returns to haunt, 
the dilemma, of disowning 
the old version of truth;
when I was searching the parallelism
for the sake of otherness.

The unreturning melancholia, 
brings the surreal intruder, 
I did not want to entertain.

The insane activity of heart 
wants a sin uncommitted.

The flirt eyes like a tulip 
between your fingers, 
unrolling the tender petals.

Night throws the salt on the moon.

There were no tears.
