GONE

Pictures of you
Haunt me…
Smiling, frowning,
laughing,
They tell me
Stories of what was
Of desires, longings
lost and gone…
My eyes search yours
And always the same
questions
Torment my heart…
Why me? Why you?
Turmoil singe my inside…
I feel a prisoner
Banished to the
hellish gallows
Of lost dreams,
Trapped and damned
Tied to an eternal
wrack
I try to rise above
the
Heart wrenching pain…
Scrambling and
scratching
Up the walls of my
Damp and cold dungeon
Nails torn and
bleeding…
At times the light
above
Clears my sullied
vision
And I breathe easy
Hope seems not a
distant dream
I sit for endless
hours
Weaving fantasy and
reality
Into a fine bright
tapestry,
Intertwined with
motifs of love,
Laughter, bliss and
ecstasy…
My journey less
tiresome
Then that trigger
again…
A voice, a thought, a
memory,
A song, a smell…
Plunges me into my
hell
My hunger, my
longing, my desire
Like gadflies drive
me insane
As I scream and wail
With no respite in
sight
Why? I cry fruitless
tears,
Knowing there are no
answers
You are gone for
always
And so have I…
How do you manage to write so beautifully each and every time ?

DeleteAwesome! Spell bound actually.
ReplyDeleteThank you so much Janaki <3
DeleteIt's like a song that goes on and on. I have just cut all the strings that bound me to him...but, when the trigger sets in, it still feels like salt rubbed in an injury. But perhaps the pain is less.
ReplyDeleteYou are so gifted soul sis. This poetry is precious to me.
Lots of love :*
The pain is less, soul sis and with time it will fade and be a distant memory in our hearts. Thank you for sharing this, Melissa

ReplyDeleteThank you so much Irene for your beautiful words
DeleteRimly, there is never a time when I visit your blog, read your poetry, and I'm shaken to the very core. Your words are so powerful, your emotions so tangible, and the feelings that come through are so real, it's scary. I think most of us can relate to having loved and lost. It's heart wrenching and leaves one feeling just as this beautiful poem describes. Wonderful, wonderful piece, my friend! :)
ReplyDeleteBella, it is so good to have you here and leave such a wonderful comment. Thank you so much.I guess that is why I dont write as much, only when I feel it deep in heart.
DeleteDear Rimly,
ReplyDeleteDeep and touching words my friend. Also flavored with a touch of sadness that cannot be overlooked. Thanks for sharing.
I know Andy, there is always a tinge of sadness in my poems which I hope most people relate to because at point or the other in their lives everyone has gone through heartache and pain. Thank you, my friend
DeleteI really like this Rimly! It speaks to me on many different levels. Great poem!
ReplyDeleteI am sure it does for a lot of us, Nelieta. Thank you so much for visiting and commenting.
DeleteThe pain of heartbreak is so devastating. I suppose we've all felt this at one point or other, and that's why this poem touches the heart. So well written. Nice to read you again Rimly. I always enjoy what you write.
ReplyDeleteThank you so much Myrna
DeleteIt's a great poem Rimley!!
ReplyDeleteThank you Nicole
DeleteFelt like you were reading my heart out.
ReplyDeleteWhy? I cry fruitless tears,
Knowing there are no answers
You are gone for always
And so have I…
You weave magic with your words
