My belovéd

I am within a void if not with the inspiration of your soul, without the very essence that is you. I have only recently discovered what true weariness is; a weariness unlike any I have ever endured before. And long before there was you my pen gleamed, with no satisfaction might I add, for the day I would die insufferably. You have gone now, it seems. When the day ceases and I realize how solitude has claimed me, I mourn. With that I bare to you a confession: I often wish my thoughts would leave me...only I am haunted by them which in turn suppresses my heart and feeds on the shadow of my soul. Why belovéd, have we drifted? Enclosed with this letter is a poem I wrote in adoration of you and my heart shall ache to hear you recite it. Oh, if for that moment belovéd I weep or die, forgive me.

Yours faithfully,

Robert.



in my arms
her grievances
flutter as a thousand thoughts
and press upon the grave
of our union

twisting that knife
to drain
such melody
and wishing it
to worthier lovers than we

my every thought
is now
a trail of tears
as she
evokes
a cloudburst

it
overwhelms
our love
leading my heart
to mourn
again
and again
in sync
with a broken lyric

and I long for her

Daily Quote: It is not that love is blind. It is that love sees with a painter's eye, finding the essence that renders all else background.
