Dark Paradise

I close my eyes, lost in a deep trance

Overwhelmed by seas of desolate dreams.

Shimmering tears reflect in the moonlight

And dance against raging tides of my heart.

 

Your memory sings like a melody

A dark paradise of songs in my thoughts,

Echoing throughout my black vanilla skies

Timeless memories with no escape.

 

Lying at the edge of the ocean shores,

As the waves crash over my burning soul.

Dream bittersweet visions, my end of time

Will you be waiting for me on the other side?

 

Embers of unanswered questions,

Unspoken whispers flow through evening winds

Your voice haunts my mind, and I yearn

There is no one that can compare to you.

 

 

 

 

 

Author's Note

Somewhat inspired by Lana Del Rey, and millions of unfinished poetry.

I so wish to find someone who can save me from such a dark paradise, but maybe the dark paradise isn't as bad as it seems because I have stepped out into the light and I only get hurt. But I feel hope in you words. They wrap around me like comforting arms. Very nicely done and I hope to read more in the future.

It can be very difficult to express how much we miss someone...no matter what the reason it leaves an emptiness that seems impossible to replace. Almost as if their space was cast in our being and nothing else is the exact fit. You have written this poem in a way that is easily understood. I think it comes more from within your heart than from another artistic work...A heart that has been crystal clear for some time now.

Almost as if the love felt is one that is secret and cannot be admitted. Makes me feel less alone in this strange existence. Thank you mah fren.
