Though your hand slipped out of mine

by Lonely Rider   Jul 16, 2008


Though your hand slipped out of mine

Smile wilted into somber petals
Life stagnant like rusting metals
Love snatched by a devastating gale
An era of loneliness now prevail.

Dreams entrapped in forlorn eyes
Image shimmering in distant skies
Grim Reaper played its fatal trick
Living life like a burned out wick.

You never left any footsteps behind
Still I search in the sands of time
Though your hand slipped out of mine
Our heartstrings will remain entwined.

    Another poem of sadness that has touched my heart.

    Smile wilted into somber petals
    Life stagnant like rusting metals
    Love snatched by a devastating gale
    An era of loneliness now prevail.

    How painful it is when love is snatched away from us.

    Dreams entrapped in forlorn eyes
    Image shimmering in distant skies
    Grim Reaper played its fatal trick
    Living life like a burned out wick.

    When the one you love dies. So do we. Walking through life like we are sleeping. Going through the days without purpose.

    You never left any footsteps behind
    Still I search in the sands of time
    Though your hand slipped out of mine
    Our heartstrings will remain entwined.

    Even though this person is gone we pretend they are still beside us. The connection of love lives forever.
    Excellent job!
    Love Cindy
