Parting
by Cleve Sylcox
Hearts are heavy,
Spirits gloom,
Devastated lose,
Feels like doom.
Blackness swirls,
In deep waves,
Blinding thoughts,
With darkened haze.
If there is,
A silver lining,
Someone show me,
Where it’s hiding.
Death it seems,
Is all around,
Mixed with life,
In shadows found.
For those who,
Passed that way,
We need to live,
Yet one more day.
If I die tomorrow,
And you were not there,
I would miss the last kiss,
From my lady fair.
If I die tomorrow,
And you were far away,
I would long for your presence,
Hoping for another day.
Life together is precious,
Life without you is nothing,
Hold me close my dear,
And kiss me while we are near.
How is it that I feel,
Like a new man,
What’s the deal?
I see things totally new,
When I’m with you,
Nothings blue,
I look and behold,
A crazy man
I am told,
So, what did you do,
Cast a spell,
Drug me with,
Your alluring smells,
Or is it you’re just you,
A beautiful person,
Giving me life anew.
The hope of the day ,
Comes with the dawn
Giving us,
Light to see,
Giving us.
light to be.
A new beginning,
That is seldom used,
To many yesterdays,
Not forgotten and abused.
We seek a life,
Without all the strife,
But you hold on too,
…All that’s blue.
Open your heart,
If you’re smart,
Let it all go,
Cast them like the snow.
Free yourself,
Of the old,
Look toward the dawn,
In the morning hours I see,
My love next to me,
Her hair soft and light,
Her eyes loving and bright.
With lips full and lush,
She kisses me.
In the evening hours I see,
My love next to me,
Her hand I hold dear,
My heart has no fear,
With lips full and lush,
She kisses me.
In the midnight hours I see,
My love next to me,
She dreams in quite slumber,
I smile in awe and wonder.
With love and thankfulness,
I kiss her.
Dreaming...
