UnperceivedA Poem by ComatoseA
star fading as goes on time Unperceived
by any mind A
mockery of what once was there The
dimming light that once was fair The
leaves falling onto the earth Frigid
eyes devoid of mirth The
black capped waves upon the sand Green
meadows now barren land The
rising sun devoid of light Midday
sky as dark as night The
bird's sweet chirp now like the crow Gaiety
seems so long ago The
cruel, cold cry of the seagull Almost
striving to be Death's equal Golden
tresses long turned grey Now
comes the breaking of the day Blissful
numbness too long delayed Lies
long attempting to persuade The
truth of what it never was Untruisms
of 'just because' Farewell
to one who won't return The
aching, hurting, longing yearn Of
what is known can never be Ere
it whisks the heart to the sea The
ocean of endless regrets and tears Reminds
the heart of all the years The
coming, the leaving, comes to a rest Memories
far too long suppressed Facing
the truth, I have no choice Fond
memories, I must rejoice A
small smile amid the tears Ridding
the heart of all these fears Tresses
reclaiming their gold Matured
eyes no longer cold Happiness
floods, replacing sorrow No
longer dreading every tomorrow Embracing
life with all my might Slowly
regaining the strength to fight Eyes
smiling with love to share The
star glowing with light to spare And
sun shining yet forever bright A
sprited candle newly alight Oh
second chance for a second breath Wash
away the pain of death Deeply
breathe bitter salt air Cleansing
me of all despair Newfound
reason shifts and blends To
sooth my thoughts and make amends To
help gain what was always meant To
strive ahead until my body is spent Ever
reaching up into the blue Ever
striving to be more like you The
day will come when the waves are calm A time when flames will no longer embalm Someday,
you will know all that I can be Someday,
you will see just how much you inspired me Someday,
someday soon, we shall once again walk hand in hand Not
caring where we’re going, leaving our footprints upon the sand © 2016 Comatose |
