When ''long ago'' surpasses today, time suddenly stops dead in it's tracks.


I Wish your Day was Fine



Layers of colorless life
Finds me again this day,
I wish your day was fine
And things would be alright.

Black butterfly absorbs the Sun
Deep within its soul and mind,
Rushing in October's wind
Smashing the hard rain again.

Wrinkled hands unbutton
The days finale with scorn,
As melancholy rhythms
Drown with the searing sun.

Doing all things expected,
Tormented in pain and fear,
Leave my side, let me hide
Never hold me again.

Like a dying fool, he cries.
No hope, nor quivering smile
Can stop the stinging
Sad tears, flooding his closed eyes

Those tears seem to come from a eternal spring that flows through all time. This is so very poignant and so very real.

Wow, I know this feeling so too well my friend, you express the deadly stopping of our life film in it's tracks, with painful accuracy. What can we do but try and replicate that long ago in the now? Your first stanza still holds the key of loving care for another in your poetic hand, yes! things would be alright, all in past tense

Second stanze brings us forward into the now of autumn, with rain and winds, hitting us hard...third stanza see's the victim of love, undress the truth of his/her melancholic rhyme only to be drowned by the rain as our sun is put out....fourth stanza shows us the cost of such past intakes of long-ago with a plea to be allowed to let go. The final stanza shows us that love never can let go....only a fool would not know that, but we are all fools in the eyes of love, it bites us hard and we never know that feeling until it has and then it is too late......

this is what I get from your poem. Hope you get some peace.

smiling at you
