So close...So far

Written by Neo. Wherever you may be.

"...As the rose petals begin to fall,

       Upon my sleeping eyes,

I awake to sounds of shallow breaths,

entwined with contented sighs...

Knowing that she is so close to me, 

       yet still far away

I feel myself edging a little closer, 

      my heart begins to stray...

A thousand thoughts occur to me, 

     and i wonder if i may, 

awake the sleeping beauty, 

      under the silk she lay...

As i run my fingers through her hair,

    golden threads upon my skin,

A guilt falls deep upon me,

   "to awake her would be sin..."

The building frustration deep within,

     has me by the heart,

    this love I have for her

     has left a tainted mark...

As i look up from my loving gaze,

    reality shows her eyes,

What reality shows me,

   is who she lies beside...

Diverting my heart from its course,

   i walk away and hide,

the salty tears run down my face,

   showing a darker side,

My envy must be obvious,

  as my heart is in her hands,

and whenever I try to claim it back,

   it falls away like sands...

Before I know it the day is gone,

   and my love is far away,

And all i'm left with is a single candle,

    burning as it may...

It's light is so simplistic,

  it craves only one thing...

the air it needs is the air i breathe,

  and with that, the fire brings...

I would give my very last breath,

  for that single candle to burn,

to let it feed on what it needs,

   the same for me in turn...

"...And so it seems..."

She is the air that burns love's fire...

   the only thing i need,

the things that hurts me all the most..

  is he also needs her to breathe...

"...So i put my words to love...

                                   and these words they go unsaid..."

it sounds like Neo knew how to love proper...a vey telling tribute and most certainly one that speaks well of his talent. Yours as well. The candle burning is a wanting thing isn't it...so "simplistic" in what it craves and yet so very all consuming as it wants so badly to stay its flame for as long as love or the wick or our lives will allow and then...well what burns away is the very heart of how and why it was started....consuming all that it needs. Wonderfully written .

Neo was an exceptional writer. Been trying to find him for awhile but without success. This was one of my favorites from him. He was very talented.

Thank you for commenting on his writing.

When the moon is set just right and the wolves are fast asleep in their foolish dreams to pack their hunts in the safer dreams of their immortality..Neo will appear. I wish you luck till then,,,smiles and a Happy Holiday season for you and all that make your page what it is..
