I close my eyes to feel you again,
Opening them to see you gone
Like the silent whisper in the wind
The restless sleep comforts me
Reaching out to to hold a hand,
A hand that was never there.
Straining to see a face,
A face that that would quickly fade
I shut myself off to feel you...
Opening up to an empty closure
Like a warm feeling of a cold hand...
A soulless body saved me.
Hoping and believing in faith
A faith that was betrayed
Fighting for a feeling...
A feeling that was never there.
Poem displays superb intellectual talent, lends great atmospheric effect, and offers up deep emotional probings for the reader. I really enjoyed reading this, as I have all of your poetry. "The restless sleep comforts me." Profound wording at its very finest. The dark side of this piece, of course, pertaining to betrayal, makes me feel saddened for the writer, and "A souless body saved me" is both realistic and absract. Thanks for posting your wonderfully creative work.
