Arid Is the Heart That Cried

Where is yesterday when tomorrow may not come?

Where is a memory when the thought is null and void?

Where were you when I waited here till I could wait no more?

 

I knew I felt something differant in the distance. I just didn't know what it was.

I knew there was something lingering there in the back of my heart.

I waited to find it and still it remained hidden from view.

 

Really though it was a pleasure, no matter how short the ride.

And when the tears come, I will let them flow, till arid is the heart that cried.

I knew it wouldn't last, but then I guess I asked for it too.

 

I really did enjoy those late night conversations, the talks I had with you.

I really did pour out all of me and I thought you poured out all of you.

I really will never forget you and who knows, perhaps this is not the end.

Love the expression of wanting togetherness to linger on, not to end!

[realmwriter]

I wish it could forever and that forever comes before the end reaches the rope...!

[Kenneth The Poet]

Nice piece, and I love how clean it is. I really think you send the message further when one supplies a perfect piece like this.

[realmwriter]

As always Kenneth, Thank you very much my friend...!

[Enigma]

A moving and emotionally charged piece. There is so much to relate to - the heartache and the struggle to accept the pain. Well penned.

[realmwriter]

Thank you as well. It really means a lot...!

[Rowan Storm]

It was true. I did that for you. Believe me, or rather believe me as I trusted you. I know it's been awhile. I have no bad thoughts or wish to beguile. In these dusty shoes, indeed I have walked that final mile. Good day.

[realmwriter]

And a lot of walking we all go through just to catch a glimps of you. But for one night there might be rest where nothing more can beat the chest.

[Rowan Storm]

Believe as you once did. Believe and......forgive.

[realmwriter]

Amen...!

[Lily Mae]

This is sweet because of the hope at the end.. and that doesn't happen enough in life or writing lol.. You balanced the emotions very well and made it a great read..xo..

[realmwriter]

Thank you very much...!

this is exquisite in texture and imagery and is laced with metaphorical beauty. i love the three line format and the completion of emotions and thoughts. this is one you can be proud of, even years from now, when you may think it not your best...the secret is, the better you write, the more you enjoy looking back on how far you've come. this is written like an old soul crafted it from wisdom and experience, with a smack of youthful jubilation. i love it

If nothing ever comes of life but pain and suffering and much more strife, then al we can do sit back and wait til we find the love we lost so late. When yesterday blends into today and tomorrow seems so far away, we look back at the past that shaped us and see the future that remakes us. We change what is needed and discard the rest. For us the memeroy is the best...!

[Ripple of Aqua]

So sad yet truly sentimental and precious.

Thank you very much...!
