Dying Love Poem by Bonnie Collins

Dying Love

Rating: 5.0


Thrashing waves pounding against the rocks, the sound of distant
seagulls screaching from afar, all seem to know the time is near

Distantly the amber glow of a lonely lighthouse seems to be
fading further and further out of sight, sadows now make it only
visiable

Fading in and out, I can still feel the numbness which has actually
become my only reprieve from reality

Ever so close now, my dear, time is no longer a commodity
nor is it even an equation

Smoky spaces seem to be more present than the air I breath
Even after the seagulls no longer cry, the lighthouse loses its shadow
After the doves now replace the darkness, will I ever stop loving you......

wow...this is a powerful piece Bonnie. There is something devastating in being the one that always loves more than anyone you encounter...eventually it will always lead to heartache. You have a beautiful way with words...and I have enjoyed every piece I've read. Hope there'll be more soon.: o) Bj

Distantly the amber glow of a lonely lighthouse seems to be fading further and further out of sight, .....is a beautiful expression. Even after the seagulls no longer cry, the lighthouse loses its shadow After the doves now replace the darkness, will I ever stop loving you...... No, never....you cannot.
