Moving Forward

Enchanting yet tormented eyes, unfailing love seems...

Yet you have failed me…

I found out today as I crossed your forgotten path-

The bristling and whispers of the wind,

As it tells the tales of ones ailing heart.

You left behind the traces of a dying rose and so I waited…

You found another path-one fruitful and promising.

She is quite beautiful,

Eyes of brown mystery and rosy cheeks,

Hair drifting in the wind as you whisper your familiar lies.

Tragic.

I do not envy. I wait no more.

My heart soars with open doors-no longer for one, but many.

Unleash me from your imprisoning mind. I want to be free.

Though I have stumbled across your path-

Saddened and unwilling to move forward,

Their I see that beauty lies up ahead, over the ruins of one’s love-

its time to move forward...

It's a poem of honesty and strong heart - that just want to roam free. It's your words that makes me wonder the realm of your heart and how pure the love takes place there - a beautiful heart and soul. Your love is a gold and more than that. Beautiful :)

I love this. In all it's intricacy and uniqueness. There is so much frustration in wanting to break away and being unable to. And there is so much beauty in that first step away from someone or something that impedes your ability to live. This was amazing.

The poem made me so sad.
The bristling and whispers of the wind,
As it tells the tales of ones ailing heart
I am so much moved by these lines
That idiot didn't know the value of that girl. I hope he regrets it very much

Enchanting yet tormented eyes, unfailing love seems...

Yet you have failed me…

Think this sums up a failed relationship.

First comes the honeymoon, the enchantment, then comes the 2nd act, the getting to know the memories the pet peeves, the demons and hopes...then the masks come off, you see them at their worst, and it is only then that you can truly know if it's truly love, or passing infatuation...

This sounds like that

The soul couldn't sustain the dream. It was all song, no substance.

The narrator ends it on perhaps a painful recognition that his path will only be ruinous

then ends on an affirmation

"its time to move forward"

Which is never easy, but the speaker seems to proclaim it with finality.

I love the deep digging honesty of this piece. The situation you invoke here is a universally human one and i feel it cut to the deepest parts of me that have dealt with such pain and relief.

Angelina you speak from the heart and soul passionately in general I see that and truly feel it also you touch people with your words. your a true poet.

[An owl on the moon]

There is a beautiful, painful ache in your words. In loving, in longing, there are strands of another's life that are woven into us, which often makes it difficult to move to another path. Truly sorry you faced the suffering of these shadows, but grateful you are letting go, living now in what's to come. Powerful poetry.

[A.G.]
