Analysis of Love's Verdict



Parting of breaking hearts
desperately seeking anew
lost on distant horizons
only found by hardly few

Tears scattered in storms
eyes seared by the wind
tugging at strings of beads
missing of love's threads

Fatalism unchanged
In the empathy of souls
ever forgotten pieces
in a lover's essence of heart

Minds twisted in dreams
absent of never knowing
or finding a verdict
in what true love means

As I awaken to the touch of light that burns upon a candles wick flickering my words for all to see. This drives my thoughts through the darkest of nights of loneliness that renders my quill upon parchment with ink that dances to minds and souls.Now I hear the screeching of my heart when the blue horizon covers the orb of emptiness.Within the shelter of my mind with little, purpose other than my words that keep me sane. These are my new poems I have written in the quiet of my night, forever wished away in a writer’s pain. As I strive to write that perfect poem that, my soul desperately seeks. Then and only then can my words rest upon a sleep. more…
