When A Body Needs A Soul

Wandering along the shores
of a wishful sea,
holding her hands tightly.
Recalling old dreams;
until the madness of each wave
destroyed his life completely.

He tried - yes he tried,
and still I saw him trying,
as he felt like losing her

but sorry; she has already Left

I saw tears dripping,
like a passionate waterfall -
deep within the loss of his eyes,
promising the slow beats
of his needy heart,
not to burn him deeper.

not to throb any longer.

And I caught the unspoken
hums of his lips whispering
patience for the pain of his silent dark.
As they compete to be, what she once was;

the inspiration of his words.

Forcing the eager of his thoughts about
her angelic face, not to arise further more.
He stopped searching for her lively ghost
stopped hunting her shadows..
stopped following her untrustworthy steps.
Nevertheless failed to reach her

Alas time stole more of his years
as he lost his entire soul
where duress stomped hardly upon
his helpless heart
Now like a dead man standing under the tree
where he once used to wait for her passionately .

I glimpse him stripping the leaves
of disowned roses.
ones he planted, and she forgot to take!

Still he waits , lifeless
for her return..
In hope that her madness would be
riding one of these waves-
that once destroyed his life

Or that her face would ever
fall over these wishful shores-
that he still measures..
Since his body badly needs it's Soul..

Be ignorant about the tone used, this is not about a male waiting for the girl he loved. I only switched characters on purpose.
