Dark Soul

Your voice, 

 

was once 

my only 

salvation 

 

it carried 

a depth, 

a meaning, 

 

which none 

appeared to 

fathom 

Your eyes, 

were once 

the window 

to my soul, 

 

the view is 

blurred now, 

 

or maybe you're 

too far 

to notice, 

 

a soulless 

life here 

 

Your hands, 

 

I've forgotten 

their touch, 

 

the way 

they made me 

 

feel 

on fire, 

 

it has gone amiss 

 

My soul, 

it's darker 

than before 

 

I closed it 

shut 

 

not to be 

opened, 

at least, 

not for you

Ah..this is one sad yet sweet piece. Thought and content both are beautifully described here. Sometimes few events and experiences change our perception regarding few things in life...love too has the same impact..don't let the soul get darken by it. I know this is very easy to say but we need to survive. I hope this poem is not what you feel because if it is then this is really painful to read.
Nicely written:-)

[Dr. YumnaKay]

Well, it is close to what I felt at the time of writing.. But human emotions never remain the same.. Always keep changing..
I'm glad you liked the darkness in this one! Thank you for your thoughts here! Truly appreciate it ☺

[Sir Drift & Mr. Pulse]

Oh my, so many things that happen to us!

[Dr. YumnaKay]

True... They do..

[costa siwale]

impeccable piece my friend..oh! how sweet to write of darkness.

[Dr. YumnaKay]

Thank you for liking! I appreciate it ☺

[costa siwale]

of course, anytime.

Darkness comes for awhile after disappointment. But light will most likely return as we plod on. Your writing exudes the feel of a heart which trusted and felt the sting of betrayal. I.I.

[Dr. YumnaKay]

Will it? I don't feel like it will but of course there's always hope..
Thank you for your thoughts here as well.. I truly appreciate it ☺

[Isabella Ivy]

Well, that's why I said, 'most likely' which msy be determined by outlook. One has to choose to let go. I take it this is a true and recent wound then? I am sorry and hope your heart finds new loves. I.I.

[Dr. YumnaKay]

Yes, somewhat.. I recently tuned into writing what I feel, before that most of my writing here have been crap 😛
Thank you for the kind words. It means a lot ☺

[Isabella Ivy]

You are very welcome :)

[Travis Gibson (poetic h..]

I can't help but feel hurt or resentment in this piece... More accurately, that's where your words walk my spirit here.

[Dr. YumnaKay]

That was what I felt at the time.. Thank you for your thoughts here. Truly appreciate it ☺

[Travis Gibson (poetic heroics)]

It was indeed ba pleasure... Looking forward to reading more of your work.

[Dr. YumnaKay]

Oh feel free to.. And same here as well ☺

To me, your poem has a slow breathing quality to it, which makes the sadness of the words even more profound. I think the lines "or maybe you're
too far
to notice,
a soulless
life here"
cut right to the soul. Powerful work, YumnaKay

[Dr. YumnaKay]

Mary, Thank you so much! I am much humbled by your kind words and glad that you like it ☺

[Lorry]

It is always beyond sad when you forget their touch. Something that once made you feel so alive. Poignant words we all know too well, beautifully written.

[Dr. YumnaKay]

I've come to realize the sooner we forget that touch, the better..
Thank you for your thoughts, truly appreciate it ☺

[Alia ZJ.]

Followed up your profile from the sweet review you left me. This is one melancholic yet beautiful poem, Yumna. Keep writing. =)

[Dr. YumnaKay]

Thank you, Alia! That's sweet of you to say! ☺
I'm glad you liked this one! ☺

Love this. Favorite part, "My soul is darker than before..." Sounds twisted to say such a sad part was my favorite, but I like the power behind it. It was a nice, short read. Thanks for sharing YumnaKay

[Dr. YumnaKay]

I wouldn't say it's twisted.. Thank you for liking and reviewing, DD! Truly appreciate it ☺

[A.L.]

My pleasure :)

If only yumnakays harsh reality were (not) inspired of love or need ... the write would never have been ..we would not have enjoyed ... write on dear one write on

[Dr. YumnaKay]

Hey thank you so much! I appreciate your kind words ☺
