FABLES

In such a lonely world... xo

Cracked glass

what was love

longing

lifting smiles

just a legend all the while

sad

in such a lonely world

faded flowers

fainter fragrance

wanted only

to protect you

secure you

protecting myself now

from more pain

where to go from here?

time fades away

love

easier said than done

messages unanswered

tried to show you love

unyielding

you lit the darkness

dancing hand-in-hand

now dancing alone

forgetting

life

it’s all just myth now

melded

now muted

so many wandering

wanting a warm embrace

clinging desperately

like snow in the shadows

are we strong enough

to make some sense of it all?

shadows fade

will we find our way back?

single strand of thread binds us

and you with a swaying knife in your hand.

[Nadia Gerassimenko]

It can be difficult to discern reality from fable...as when we are in love, we are taken into a magical fairytale and life seems like a fairytale itself. it can be heart-wrenching, when the mirror of our perfect fable shatters and shows us true colors of how love can be sometimes.

[Echoes of Eros]

Yes, oh yes, Nadia. Love that is woven of smoke and mirrors will one day fade into mist. May your love be created from the very soul of Love; the pure joy of the universe that will feed you both ecstasy forever. xo

You are so sweet! I wish the same for you!

[AYVID N]

Some love just keeps haunting us and we love them beyond the grasp of earthly reason. Life is never sure and neither is love and that's the sad part of it all. You expressed it so touchingly Eros, I could identify with and relate to each line. Thank you for sharing. Its amazing different people with different lives have still so much in common!

[Echoes of Eros]

Yes, you understand so well my words, my thoughts. There is a beautiful aching in loving, and sometimes having to let go. That amazes me too, how people from such diverse worlds can connect so deeply. Souls find a way. xo

[AYVID N]

Yes...There is a peace connected with letting go. A special feeling of contentment and healing, knowing you have done your very best and surrendered to destiny.

Very beautiful and intense piece...I like the structure like a chain from deep thoughts and reflections...A powerful love song of loneliness and lose...and the main core of feeling is "faded flowers" of love, something lost and painful heart, which even so has hope to return! The hope is always so important and what make us alive. Time and space are like disappearing in the world where love lives...even so she is still so cruel, between the fire and ice., the darkness and light, and life and death..In your so creative words love/ beloved with knife in hand. (instead flowers) great imagery, dear Eros!
