Into Forever.

Fay Slimm.

 

 

Into Forever.

 

When you went our half-read book fell
from its rightful bower,

my life deflowered,

now stones clutter fields of meant harvest
and exploded to rubble
death's dust chokes our dreams

for joy appears reaped.

 

When I lost you those visions of smiles
morphed to tears of mourning,

my days were undawned,

now blackened light stumbles on paths we
trod and frozen too soon,
passion grows listless and old

for time feels so cold.

 

When you sank out of life's reach into
silent sleep's vastness

my hope unfastened,

now clouds cover tomorrow's past glory
and desire takes back-steps
as though real living has died

for need is denied.

 

With you gone, though goodbyes were
unspoken fused bonds remained,

my courage re-trained,

now rain-bruised with heart-strings heavily
soaked, unable to
stave off lament my mind knows 

all is not broken.

 

Love soldiers forward, recharges forces
and avoiding explosives
it will be victorious
for into Forever hope walks 

on and on

and

on.

    My dear Poetess Fay...
    It seems we’re on the
    same wavelength...
    I’ve been thinking and
    missing a loved one!
    Haven’t been able to
    write about it. My muse
    is silent...unlike yours!
    You’ve expressed
    so well what I’ve been
    feeling for my loss!
    Will be saved as one
    of my favorites!
    ~Laura~

  • BRIAN & ANGELA

    Thanks for sharing a POEM straight from your Loving Heart FAY ! It reflects the EXPERIENCE we all have reflecting on the DEMISE of a Loved One. However I have never "lost" a Soul Mate ~ which is the most unkindest cut of all ! Life deflowered ~ Days undawned ~ Hopes unfastened ~ Need denied ~ BUT (Praise God) You counter with COURAGE RETRAINED !
    I love the optimism and resolve in your concluding lines !
    All is not broken
    Love soldiers forward
    It will be victorious
    Hope walks on & on & on
    Thanks for caring & sharing

    I have saved your Poem as favourite ~ because I know that if I lost my "LOVE" it would not be the end ~ AMEN ~ Yours as ever BRIAN.

      Superb write Fay, lost love is hard to deal with but your words though so emotive look forward and you know that your life will be rebuilt in love.
