Miserable Bliss

Shining sweet nectar streams from the sun
It dances in pools on the orange autumn floor
Now that the grueling foot march is done
I tend to my wounds in the suns drowning warmth

The warmth of her smile
The glow of her eyes
I think for awhile
On our last compromise

But like the suns streaming rays
Time too must flow
Like the stars deep in space that shimmer
I know that my future, though foreboding, has spots burning bright
Bright enough to lighten the darkness of night

And deep in the realm of my minds granite tomb
As i wander through time's hall of unending rooms
Your burning eyes remain set in stone
Though always preserved
From my presence cordoned
And I think and I ponder and I feel so alone
As the sun shines down so sweetly

This is one of those poems

This is one of those poems where you wonder what something like that feels like, and then you wonder about the immense amount of talent it takes to form it into words. So well done!

Incredible!

This is very good! I already read it, but now I can actually comment on it! I think it is great!
