“Unanswered Questions?”
How long before the final teardrop has fallen?
Will it take an immeasurable amount of time?
When will these eyes finally focus on the vision?
An unfinished dream lost in a fading final light?
When will your scent become that of another?
As a lost and forgotten fragrant memory subsides?
When will these lips taste past traces touch?
Have they become too parched from carnal denial?
Do endless raindrops ever stop falling?
Marking an end to a perfect storm?
Will the dark clouds part and open the heavens?
Let a ray of hope, at last come shining through?
In this moment the seas are ragging
Safe harbors once lost remain unfound
Is “waiting here forever” idly watching the infinite seasons pass?
While raindrops taste like tears without the ache?
What is the agonizing sound moaned by a breaking heart?
A murmured sigh too deep for words?
Will it splinter as a weeping willow struck by lightening?
Or glass shattered onto the unforgiving rocky earth?
How can an aching heart keep on beating?
Does the throbbing emptiness gradually trickle out?
Then silently flowing as a river of tears?
Like the floods of the long winter’s rain?
Breathe in ~ Breathe out …Patiently …
Savor the essence of each bated breath
Inhale all of the vast mysteries
life’s unknown seasons unveil
How do you catch lightning in a bottle?
Darkness can wilt the crimson rose ~
When you don’t know what was found
Before it may have been lost …
