Memories

The clouds' petals opened up and showed me a glimpse of your farsighted face,

It saddened my heart to see only footprints replacing the promised trace,

My days have been dreams within veiled dreams since you went away,

And left me alone with the memories to hide beneath their soothing shade,

A pleading glance...a heavenly embrace ...will put a soft smile on my face,

But Alas, I'm asking the impossible when it comes to life and its disheartened fate.

I walk the same shore alone,looking for a message of love sent my way,

In seashells,on rocks or whatever is pushed forward by the waves,

To ease my aches and quench my thirst for your presence day after day.

I imagine the echoes of your gentle words written on sand:"My dear I love you so,

I'm sorry I've neglected to knock your door,but i'm a busy person you know,

With so many things to do,and though I don't write that often...

I certainly think of you...I'll rest a little longer,perhaps I'll write soon,

for you are the soul of my summer days with jewels rare,and dancers fair,

and bright exotic flowers granting warmth on winter's days".

Like a bolt of lightening,such echoes are in the midst of my weeping rain.

And I stand still silently,my heart enfolded in such haunted words,

I go back my own way, enchanting his memory with muted music filling my air:

"Tomorrow will be today,The hours i'm living now will be yesterday,

But what dreams do I dream when tomorrow's sunshine seem so far away?"

Beloved Eagle,one day I hope you will come get your little bird and,taking it up to your hearth of love,you will immerse it for eternity,into the burning abyss of that love,to which it offered itself as a victim (Ms B, 5v)
