Colossal the pain
Mightier than death, to live,
Fight on… without you
In response to daily prompt Notable

Vaguely she passes by,
As the shadow of my love sinks beneath
The weight of the contempt she bequeaths
This mournful heart, no less ignored than the merest fly
Vaguely she looks at me,
Wondering why I shrink beneath
Her puzzled eyes which in fire wreath
This dying soul, free never to be
Cards to my chest,
Vaguely I come closer
Laying my moves as I know best.
Nervous, near the brink…..No! Do not falter!
Steeling my heart, I play it cool
…And
Vaguely I ensnare her
Reeling her in, I play the fool
Praying it’s enough to win her
…To Vaguely hold her hand…
Forever
Atomic
Numb
Numb to the world
to the violence
to the pain
Even to the joy
the beauty
and the wonders
Utterly Frigid
Unbalanced
Love, Inefficient!
Happiness intense, fleeting
Always pain flows in
To you that this concerns (yes, you….)
This here is slightly adapted (by me) from a fictional book by a fictional character (author) in a real book written by a real author:
“The Road goes ever on and on,
Down from the door where it began;
Now far ahead the Road has gone
And you must follow if you can,
Pursuing it with eager feet
Until it meets some larger way
Where many paths and errands meet,
And whither then? I cannot say. “
Down from the door where it began;
Now far ahead the Road has gone
And you must follow if you can,
Pursuing it with eager feet
Until it meets some larger way
Where many paths and errands meet,
And whither then? I cannot say. “
Our paths have met and are now drifting a bit away. But the Road remains and as long as we follow it our paths will intertwine again maybe tighter than before. I just hope I see you often enough before you have to go really far away. I am very fond of you and remain forever your friend.
Love,
Al
