Last Dance With A Memory

Last Dance With A Memory

A Poem by Rain
"

I can longer close my eyes and see her face. Let me dance once more with her memory.

"

 

Last Dance with a Memory

 

i will dance with you, one last time
where the sand meets the sea
before all of every yesterday
is no more even memory
 
i cannot explain where it went
we were so sure love would last
and now i owe you one last dance
to say farewell to visions past
 
for many years i held you
in your own sacred place
and even when i fell in love
i gave her her's, but not your space
 
yet time has all but stole you away
something i never dreamed could be
your memory is almost totally gone
the shadows of us, i but barely see
 
we were to be wed
without promise or vow
an understanding of hearts
a destined fate somehow
 
for so many years
we drifted apart
i wed who i loved
you loved another's heart
 
and now, it's come to the end
the corner which belonged always to you
empty and void like an abandoned room
with echos and cobwebs of what time will do
 
listen as we dance
watch the sea pull a way
prints meant for forever
sacred corners, that didn't stay
 
But we owe it to each other
to dance one last song
for the years long faded
and the memory at last gone

this was beautful and so sad, it gave me a lump in my throat.
These lines
"for so many years
we drifted apart
i wed who i loved
you loved another's heart"
mezmerizing
I have been there too
I can feel your pain, it's like love can be so intense on day, and slowly it dies.
Years go by and it dies more, until it is only a memory.
I was with my exfiance for 8 years, i always will love him, and i always have, but somewhere along the way we fell out of love with eachother. One can love but are they in love, the key question to any sucsessful marriage.
keeping love alive
and dancing the memory of love one last time is absolutely beautiful
nice work
thank you for entering my contest

Very beautiful my friend. A little sad to think of a memory fading away. I guess that happens to us all.

Hugs,

Simplicity yet elegance surrounds each stanza of this piece. I agree, 'tis very sad and almost mourning for a life once lived and a cherished now forgotten.
