That plays from the beating melody of your broken heart
Stand in the winter’s wind to embrace the lingering chill
Of that which was left by the frozen soul of a lost lover
As the moon eclipses our dearly departed promises
The sun sets with our beloved dreams
Together… yet alone
Do these shadows of sadness fulfill these lonesome tears, and in the night
Do we stare deeply into the memoirs of our eluding past
Hoping to hold onto desperately… those fleeting memories of joy
But a flower no matter how beautiful it maybe
Can never reclaim a petal once lost
So towards the shattered pieces, that we had once deemed as paradise,
Do we walk with sorrow
Along praying for the whispers of that misplaced love to bloom anew
Though time proves to be a well-known cruel god
Therefore in time, like lilies, do those moments wither and die
Thus all that is left is a reminiscing void
Cursed with the sinister will of a shallow faith that one may love again
Weary smiles befalls the fool
Foolish enough to lose themselves to that kind of madness
Weary fools… such as I

But a flower no matter how beautiful it maybe
Can never reclaim a petal once lost
Such a thought provoking poem.. 🙂
A strong diatribe against the folly of being knocked flat by regret, sadness, or sorrow; for only moving forward out of the veil of pathos can we discover real joy, another love.
We are all fools at times, aren't we? Lilies was perfect for this piece. Great writing
One who loves is never foolish. Only the one who lets their truly slip away can ever be called a fool. Lovely.
some beautiful lines here. i really like the 6th stanza.
great work.
Amazingly amazing….
At least the person in the poem loved instead of hiding away from it. It takes bravery to put yourself outhere. Some really lovely lines in this. the two couplets are outstanding. Spencer is Kanzensakura
I think most of us can be included in the fool category when it comes to love. I really liked your line “But a flower no matter how beautiful it may be, Can never reclaim a petal once lost.” A very sensitive and poignant write…I enjoyed very much.
Bravo – it is so hard to write about lost loves and regrets but you have achieved it beautifully.
