In Absentia

Scattered images in broken glass,

Grains of sand dissipate in whispering winds.

The memories of your smile

Haunting me at every waking moment.

 

Alone in my own dark thoughts,

Lost in the bittersweetness of evanescence.

A selfish eternity wasted, taken away

By the hands of greed and rage.

 

Cast my soul in to the heavens,

And let me stay above the clouds

So they may no longer rain down their tears

For me to swipe away from these burning eyes.

 

How can I move on pretending

When my heart has been set aflame in regret

And smoldering anger deepens within my soul,

Longing to be in your loving arms once more.

Author's Note

Obviously this was written out of some depression and anger. And may give off the feeling of suicide...but I promise I know better than to do such a thing. All in my mind, I guess you could say.

an aura of gloom cast all around it. the poem feels alive. i read through it with curiosity and felt your grasp over strong emotions personified. looking forward to reading more work as this.

We can move on .. But we still look back .. Rage is remembered only if we let it have a place .. Love has many sides .. and longing, so many seasons .. Even though dark, I like the way you write about your thoughts , so freely ...
