Winding Road

A poem written for Poetry and Lyrical challenge group. Title Winding Road. Topic dark winding road.

The darkness looms on ahead
A curving road with dust
Now slowing down the gust

For thinking is now clouded
With memories of the past
The loving did not last

A blackness does invade
As gravel bumps under tires
Love a heart's desires

Spinning out of control
The breaking glass in shards
Car left broken and marred

Gleaming headlights shine brightly
Now showing the distant way
but refusing, the heart stays

Shrouded in a numb aching
With sadness it does sink
Brain declining to think

Darkened love causes the crash
Heart completely broke and lost
Feet frozen in place like frost

Listless and utterly numb
Life begins to move on
With passion never gone

Leaving the winding road
Car abandoned there
Mind moving forward with care

Life will never be the same
His face deeply engraved
Soft warming touch always craved.
