Chasing the shadows on a warm summer eve Flitting in and out of the depths of emotion A solo disturbance on the ripples of time That seems irrelevant in everything but an absent smile Breeze whispers sweet nothings on deafened ears Phantom romance awaiting a song of pain Trying to piece together all the memories As a teardrop forms to greet dismay Challenges of life occasionally brought great joy Catalogues of photos mark the bygone days Every raindrop that falls is a weeping reminder Each frost-bitten morning a symbol of the future For nothing can compensate the emptiness inside Willowing soul and eroding pride Temperant delinquent nomad of the past At journeys end to flow no more The fool that took for granted the halcyon sunshine gaze Pays the price of folly in the crumbling shreds of dark But as the questions are ultimately asked There is no use trying to explain Forever cast in the role of villain Only one left to blame Cradling the alcoholic path to oblivion In a smoke-filled bar that has no name
such a sad piece. but lovely. To be honest, I had to read it twice before I got it, but it was great.
Cheers Musikero. I have to admit that I do often write cryptically and have a liking for inverting the emaning of words !!
