(b) 26 (Pain/Longing) Forever?

Rating: 5.0


Were you a cloud hovering over me
giving solace to my heart for a few days
continuing in your journey
forever?

Were you the sun that warmed,
lighting up my life for a few days
now obscured by clouds that swarmed
forever?

Were you a ship passing by
that anchored in my life for a few days
moving on to another shore in your quest
forever?

Were you a shooting star
blazing through my life for a few days
All I'm left with is a bunch of your thoughts
forever?

We will continue our ways
but you have touched my heart
with your purity and tenderness that will stay
forever

It's like the hearts agree but the minds do not want to admit it. Liked it :) Preets

Love lost, but was it ever truly found, other than but for a segment of glinted passion? Great storyline here, & i agree with me lassir, tara'bout the profoundity of th' repetitious, subliminal seed-planting of the past tense...GONE.... & that looming, thwarting, question maark......To be continued, perhaps, T.O.?

In the context, and finely-penned it is, the past tense burns on the mind of the reader. And begs the question. A well-written, give-us-more piece. Aptly so. t x
