Solitary Tear

Falling in and out of Love!!! It's that feeling of realizing even more how much you want someone after they are no longer with you.

 

Please soar high with me;

Embrace life like you know you should.

You are my every eternity;

throughout all the bad and the good.

 

I hear your name almost everywhere

and you see it beckons my still soul.

Whenever we spent time together;

I felt happy to be that much more whole.

 

I occassionally see your strong face;

with your body so masculine in design.

My heart it does rapidly pound;

I want only YOU to be mine.

 

I dream about you and I;

we're on a lost island paradise.

We're embraced on the beach;

Oh yes, it's really quite nice.

 

But then suddenly I awake

and find you're nowhere quite near.

You've left me all alone;

with just a ...Solitary Tear.

You'll have every young lady and woman here telling you how we've all been there and how we can relate to this poem so well. I know I fall into that category. So I won't squander time telling you that, but rather comment on the poem itself.

Opening stanza presents an unconditional love; the curtain reveals the 'all the bad and the good'. It's more than just love or romance. A relationship on a deeper level, and now that person is lacking to you, and you miss them more than ever (sigh)
Second stanza portrays the unity that was once there, accompanied with the longing and nostalgia (sigh again. curse ye memories) in the third and fourth stanzas.
And then the poem ends with the earth shaking reality, the hard truth that no one wishes to willingly wake up to because we all know it will only bring tears of the greatest sorrow. (oh! me heart!)
Great writing, with some lovely images tied in smoothly.
Cheers.

This has a lovely rhyme and flow and brings me to tears. Love can really hurt when lovers grow apart for whatever reason. Beautifully penned!

So beautiful!
You're floating through complacency, and then you start to sink.
Little words, that mean so much.
I very much love this piece.

More, please.

The biggest puzzle of life is love, the will of temptation that leads to a sense of despair.
A sense that fulfills your thirst for venture but only for awhile then turns into a bitter taste of a repeated future.Very good poem and thank you for sharing
