Images Lost

Images Lost

 

Images lost but time not forgotten

as I weep inwardly my irrevocable loss

Moments of exhileration and passion

hidden from view behind a curtain

A burning desire for release

amidst emotions of intense love ferment

They remain to this day

I am haunted by love and ever longing

My soul cries for the loss of you

O let me love you eternally

I yearn and hanker for you even as years pass

only you can satiate my wretched heart

What am I to do with this memory

but to languish in images and glimpses of you

I am driven and want only you

the unobtainable for you are held by another

I cry alone in my night of anguish

come to me my love and be my light

I will die with you on my lips

I wear a ring for you till I am dust

it reminds me daily of you

Tom,

Thank you for this. My mistake as I intended to write ferment and not forment. It was a poem from the depths of my heart for a lost love. A day cannot pass but he is in my thoughts.

Thank you
Keith

Powerful writing Keith. I really felt this one. The pull some souls can maintain on us through the years; it can be staggering.

I was thrown off a little by 'forment' - perhaps my ignorance though?

Thanks for sharing!
