ORPHANED LOVERS

ORPHANED LOVERS

A Poem by Southern Cross

                                                                  ORPHANED LOVERS

I exist yet alone and scared,
Feeling like a  Motherless child.

A pure soul lost in limbo with

Outstretched arms holding the void. 


Typed words are too silent

To accompany the echos

That scream in my mind.


The winter of silence has finally arrived.

I can no longer see our path, 

Where it began and where it all will end.

All that is visible is it's downward incline.


Our footsteps are buried under

The snowfall of lost dreams and promises.

The surrounding air cuts like ice.


We are like the sun engulfed in a cloudless sky

Fighting the bitterness of  harsh winter's winds.

The dance of the living, frozen only in time.


We must shed the weight of our burdensome dreams

And when our world  finally becomes silent,

Look for me in the deepest recess of your heart

For it is there I have taken refuge..untouched and content.

~ oh...i can't even begin to tell you how intensely i relate to every word you've written... there's such unbelievable purity in your writing...so much of your pristine soul...and all the pain that you experience and have known...
~ yet you treasure love...and worship it with all you've got... ~ you have a beautiful heart and your infinitely poetic pen knows... ~ a remarkable piece of writing, N. ~ a piece that no one but you could've written... because it could only have been written by someone who has seen life and love closely and intensely... and is devoted to the warmth of love...

The very same to you :)
loved the title; felt the tone; knew the message; pondered the picture; paused a while then carried on...as always, words enshrined with tenderness

A love that ends always comes with many pains and emotions. I know how hard it is to have such a deep love and you watch it fall apart right before your eyes. Your soul deserves more than what this love could every provide so as hard as it is to move on, you are the better person for doing it. I'm sad for you to have to go through this but happy for you because you need this release and the ability to move on to the happiness that you deserve.

Thank you as always for sharing your heart and soul...

This sounds like love on the rocks, what a cold lonely feeling to watch things slip downward, so hard, the emotional clarity in this write is overwhelming, wonderfully expressed.
