A LETTER TO SOMEONE SPECIALA Poem by DONALD EISSLERSHE WAS AND STILL IS MY DEAREST FRIEND
My Dearest Friend:
I said that I would try and write a little prose for you tonight. So here I sit, my mind ablaze with a cornucopia of words. Their meanings still unclear. Yet they want to flow from my fingers in such a flurry that they seems to have a manifest destiny of their own. I have no simple explanation as to why I'm even doing this. Maybe you jarred my past and brought some reality into my being. Knowing what I want but also knowing that,which is unatainable. So my imagination takes the place of reality So here goes my latest plebeian try at being deep and thoughtful and trying not to have it sound like mournful dirge. I have felt the last couple of days that you are on the far side of being happy . I can not literally touch you or see you. Only from the words we exchange do I get that feeling of you being low on confidence and lacking of shared emotions. Maybe some of my words I should not speak, but being who I am that never seemed to stop me anyway. So if I am a bit out of line forgive me, but remember it took me a while to put all these words in some kind of reasonable order so take pity on this poor soul. You are like a beautiful Chandilier, confident in your beauty, which, when lit, radiates the colors of the rainbow, each ray dancing through the air in a joyous rhythm that only you can control . But it seems that the light has dimmed. The dazzling colors once so joyfully emitted, seem to have turned in to tears of crystal. Each,though eloquent as they seem,now carry only past memories,unable to reflect any joy or happiness from what once was thought to be an eternal flame hope. Dear I want you again, to be that beautiful chandelier, radiating your beauty in all the colors god has given to you. I want to watch them dancing through the air each one like a butterfly landing where its wings will carry. But most of all my love I want to see your eyes reflecting that certain sparkle of that beautiful chandelier which you own deep within you. If my words help to put that smile on your face and maybe light a bit of flame in your heart, then I have done something that makes me also smile. And yes, I even feel a bit of heat there in my chest. Must be that you have helped light a flame in my heart as well. Your own Tarnished Knight © 2011 DONALD EISSLER |
