WHERE ARE YOU NOW? (Monotetra)

Taken from the heart of someone who was left behind by his/her partner whether in the physical, emotional, or moral aspect... NO OFFENSE.

I dreamed a dream of us tonight
Just you and I in my plain sight
You're running fast with all your might
Far from the light, far from the light.

And I, I ran and called your name
To bring you back and stay the same
I've been wounded, became a lame
You never came, you never came.

I looked each time to my finger
The brightness of the ring in there
The vow we made, though it's not clear
I always hear, I always hear.

The time we kissed to seal or vow
I have that fear, I don't know how
Please help me dear to reach the brow
Where are you now, where are you now?

Author's Note

Nothing personal. Just inspired by these lines from Robert Frost's "The Master Speed"

"Two such as you with such a master speed
Cannot be parted nor be swept away
From one another once you are agreed
That life is only life forevermore
Together wing to wing and oar to oar."
----ROBERT FROST

This is beautiful and witty. Accept for a bump in the third stanza, this rolls off the tongue, with a delightful charm. I like this poem. It is a good interpretation of R.F. in some ways better. Thank you for sharing your inspiration with us, Ms Hollywood.

Dear Dhaye... You shared something very personal ... Though things and circumstances do happen in our lives that we don't want, we don't deserve and we don't anticipate. But it came anyway and sweep us off our feet. Before we know it our life was changed at the drop of the hat. Something that we have no control of. The Bible says that what God joined together let no man separate..But divorce and broken relationships happen anyway. If someone left someone for another women...then that man does not deserved her love and affection . Its time for her to move on... Nothing permanent is promise for us in this fallen and sinful world. Everything that is not pertaining to God's kingdom and has no spiritual value and merit are all but just an illusion. And sometimes we have the tendencies and close affinity to be drawn and crave for these things ... and we totally disregard that we are just sojourners, this world cannot give us what we think we need and what totally and completely satisfy our inner most being...Its best for our own interest to let go of this pain, and let go of this heartache, We are not strong enough to fight it if it ever happened to us but HE is and HE is close to the brokenhearted . If we belong to Him...Then we are not a victim but rather a victor of our own circumstances ... Thanks for sharing ...Please be encourage ~ Author Unknown
