Originally written for Mike’s ‘Off’ challenge.
Twilight of Love
We stand on the bank of the river,
Gazing far into the horizon,
Each deep in his respective thoughts
Sunsets
On the twilight of our relationship…
Departing sun reflects in your eyes
The pain of our tormented years:
Your face- ashen gray
Your eyes- death of hope-
Alive only to the realization of
A love no more…
Silent words flow back and forth
Between us
All is said and done
Everything is understood
Yet, so much unsaid,
So much unexplained,
Yet, the anguished pain…
We, the companion of the spring,
At the autumn of our relationship,
Are, strangers still…
We turn to each other-
our eyes meet-
Yet, we do not speak:
Futility of words shrieks…
I swallow the lump in my throat,
My eyes burn with unshed tears,
The vessels, emptied, over the years…
The water slowly flows down the river,
Reminiscent of our bygone years…
Sun sinks in the horizon,
Witness to our bleak farewell…
We part and slowly go our ways
Never to meet again…
And
With you goes a part of me
With you dies a part of me
Never to live again…
