Difunto (Verso para Palma)

Another old poem. Sometimes I wish I had never written it, but there is no use in denying the past.

Difunto (Verso para Palma)

 

I looked up at the quiet sky,

The moon lonely without the stars—

I missed the tiny specks of light

That didn’t gleam tonight, so far.

My eyes were glazed with love so harsh,

It made my heart break painfully

With ignorance no longer there

To hang my head and comfort me.

My tears were dry, betraying me

Like love that took a sudden turn…

And thoughts of death lingered in me

As I imagined myself burn

Like passion I once felt from you

That has since then been dried up cold,

By something I cannot point out,

For to converse, you are too bold.

Your shoulder, cold like your dead heart

Who fooled me into loving you

With thoughts of future well planned out

And lyrics of a love so true—

My soul was shattered with your words

As I called so regretfully,

Your eyes were haunting, so sincere…

Now tainted with hypocrisy.

The loss of love you felt taunts me

As you have turned your shunning back…

My smile, wiped off by all your lies—

Whose lessons taught I seem to lack.

Yet I still sit alone with fear

Hoping that you shall come someday,

For I have never felt so lost—

As if my soul has gone astray…

But hate is dormant and untrue

For love still burns right through my skin,

And though you cause me so much grief,

My days without you don’t begin;

I stare outside, hoping you’ll show

But all I see is piercing pain,

Whose fingertips burn stinging cold

As loss of love she doth engrain—

My sobbing is consumed by none,

For I have chosen plight alone;

My heart so battered, giving up

For love it hadn’t ever known…

ooh this is so nice,loved every tender word ...
I looked up at the quiet sky,
The moon lonely without the stars-
I missed the tiny specks of light
That didn't gleam tonight, so far.
My eyes were glazed with love so harsh,
It made my heart break painfully
But hate is dormant and untrue
For love still burns right through my skin,
And though you cause me so much grief,
My days without you don't begin;
oh love how cruel ,even when very hurt we forgive you
even if you cause so much pain ,we say its ok
oh love how we bow to your strength,only death can be stronger than you
even that i am not so sure
for your pain is everlasting,it comes and goes
death come in pain and then
eternal peace and relief...sleep
wonderful writing,i really enjoyed it

If you wish you had never written this piece, it can only be from such an experience where love is so deep and rich, and then it fades away... Your words are beautifully woven, like a song, and your meaning and the suble tones speak volumes. Profound and perfect...
