GRIEF

GRIEF

By TRIXSTER

I remember a time…

When my naked soul,

vulnerable to your

love's soft melody,

melted at your whispered words.

Your gentle caress

upon my damp skin

captured my wild desire.

Your silken kiss

of delicate petals

lighted the flame of passion.

And your sweet smile

and hopeful eyes

pierced my hollow heart

and filled it with

shimmering memories…

Now…

The cold wind

stings like thousands of needles

causing me to shudder.

A vacant hole in my life

sears a new cavity

in my painful lament.

Distant intentions of irony

echo in my lifeless eyes.

A blunt, yet sincere fate

silently burns our charming fairy tale

to charred ashes.

Your last moments

imbedded in my mind,

As I drown in lost…

A simple glint

had shined in your

fading eyes.

As the sharp blade

wallowed deeper,

cutting into your flesh,

drawing crimson blood

that trickled steadily

stifling my hot tears.

Your ragged, last breath

escaped into the stars,

forever gone.

And your hand

slipped slowly from my

tenacious grasp

sending me into a

World of sorrow.
