Was it?...

by Lizaveta   Mar 24, 2008


Was it the salty rain falling from the sky?
Was it a thunder that we felt inside?
Was it a lightning in your beloved eyes?
Or was it a single tear I didn't manage to hide?

Was it a rock pelted into my face,
Or was I just missing your sure embrace?
Was it your kiss that forever I'll taste,
Or were it your words that confused like a lace?

Were we hopelessly lost, or did we go astray?
Was it a light showing us the right way?
Or was it a star falling down from the sky?
When you held me for the very last time

Was it sudden, like in a desert - rain?
No, we both knew it, we knew anyway.
Because we both doubted, was it our sun?
Because our hearts didn't beat so it stunned.

It was just a shadow we mistook for love,
It was just a joke sent to us from above.
It was a photo of a not-existing land,
It was just a shadow so we don't regret.

    Overall excellent poem, I enjoyed a lot in it, you expressed your self on great way and I just simply dislike the fact that most lines start on same way but that is just my personal opinion. You actually did truly original and creative job with rhymes, and it is really difficult to live good impression on me with rhyming but you did that. Atmosphere of this piece is captivating, you kept my attention in every line with interesting imagery and few lines really impressed me.
    Bravo!
