The right words.

I can no longer find the right words.
Life consumes me
eats at me
gnaws at my bones.
Life disintegrates me
everything I love
is still right here in front of me
and I can no longer love.
I feel sick, an empty sickness crushing my heart.
All I know i sleep the world is left crying in my wake.
(I cannot even cry)
All I know is memory the life I lived the misery
of the things I did, and knowingly,
would do again.
All I know is the blush and sting of burgundy
the bright white light the entirety
of a new thing surfacing in my life.
I am afraid to get close.
I am afraid to let myself love.
I am afraid to be something more
than alone.
A single flower presses me
a single flower crushed
a single flower presses me
The lily of the garden
The black iron gate
The wind its stars the fire
burning in the lake
the simplicity
the fear I fear
the sad indulgence
pressing near
pressing hard against my sleep.
I remember all my love
and all my love is dead,
yet a shimmer slim and silver
light against
the black and dire frame of my life
touches me in a way i cannot see.
I think I have found new life.
I think I have found my peace.
It is in the smallest most beautiful
person i have ever met.
I don't even feel alone anymore.
I can't stop smiling
I have not laughed so openly in such a long time.
And I can find the need to cry
to dry my eyes
to breathe new life
and write the simplest line:
Love is the strongest silence
the lily over the waters.

| This was a very good write with a sad and emotional start and a love filled ending. The pain in it keep me reading only to find a good ending of love. You used a very good choice of words that really drew the reader in. very well done and I’m glad I took the time to read it. Take care and I look forward to more of its kind…..Steve |
