not staying
not going
the bliss
of never knowing
is lost in time
Tag: original prose
you may not know
but
you set me aglow
with
the words that you say
straight
from the soul
they contain
the most
important
parts of you
gated window of the soul
beyond where time can see
that we can play
no meaningful role
in our destiny
and in the steeple
on the hill
for you and I
time stood still
what once was
now isn’t
things do change
our time together
and what we saw
has washed up
on this lonely shore
the river flows
and so it goes
onward to the sea
when it’s journey’s through
it will be with you
sadly, unlike me
loneliness
I feel your loneliness
trapped
within
the crushing cold
without a limb to hold
on to
from your window
I can see
a light that only
shines for me
shine on
the light seeks you out
your delicate beauty
it caresses
in a way I never could
I envy it so
when first we met
I realized
the world
seemed
like a much
better place
to be
everything
seemed so right
when it was bathed
within your light
