"of a tear"




The journey

It has been in the making since the day we met

Every kiss

Every smile

Every gentle touch

A tiny mirror of my soul fashined by every beat of your heart

It was meant to stay locked away for so much longer

But now my heart tremors

Desolation attempts to forbid

But the weight of sorrows loss is too heavy

And no longer can the the truth be denied

This tiny etheral vessel has to be released

For my heart could not survive its death

So as sure as the sun will set on the end of every day

Its journey must begin

And so it rises on each tremor of my heart

Until it blurs the vision of all that remains

And it is there whilst teatering on the edge of hope

That it calls on every sinew  of every muscle in the body

And the body shudders in response

And the lungs heave in desperation

One final painful attempt to stay the inevitable

But it is futile

Like all lost love before

All that can be done is to watch

Watch as it descends through the pain of every memory

And as it slowly descends

I see your face in this fragile mirror of my soul

Your wonderful smile and the star light in you eyes

And for just a short moment time is suspended

And it is there that I wish to dwell forever

But the sands of time have never loved

So as all journeys end so must this one

But it's without fanfare or celebration

Just the silence of the emptiness of my heart.

This really evokes the sense of love lost. I like especially "I see your face in this fragile mirror of my soul."

I don't usually comment on "lost love" poems, but there is a grace and graciousness here that sets it apart, memorable lines certainly, in some way both understated and more powerful for that, a sense of acceptance and even gratitude that comes only with the maturity to feel and express them "without fanfare" but not without a kind of celebration.

The story held within this tear's journey is so sad that I just feel like going over and hugging you! ;)

Lines such as :

"So as all journeys end so must this one
But it's without fanfare or celebration
Just the silence of the emptiness of my heart."

With these words, the desolation in the conclusion feels so irreparable and the bearer's heart so shattered. *hugs* xx
