Lost

Norman Wilson

Lost
I am very saddened
From my hurting heart
For the words once spoken
Causing us to part

It was a courtship made in heaven
Where we danced on the clouds
Then the rain came
And brought our love down

Holding things together
Was our final straw
When the sun came
Our love ended in the thaw

I now cry from my eyes
For what I didn't see
That we were in love
As I sigh on my sleeve

To change what could have been
Is not within my choice
For I cannot find the words
Deep within my voice

Norman Wilson

IntroductionForgotten are the times the tick of a clock once chimed sobering sounds that caressed my hearts nightly dreams. 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…
