Love Poem: Void of Solace

Void of Solace

The diamonds of the twilight…
They sparkle in the sky
Testifying of my solemn place
In this my somber time

So lost without you, a dying ember into a falling sky
Growing cold and so very dim
Crash landing within this maze of a God forsaken life
Any hope for joy to cling too is all together grim

From a distance among the crowds
Everywhere, go I, I feel your smiling face
When I see you in the drifting clouds
Splendor sets the pace

But, then the freezing rains
Fall callous, way too many tears
Seasons run together, never do any change
Drifting aimlessly through muddled years

These questions I forever whisper to myself
How do I leave the heart break behind?
Stop the memories from twisting the knife?
Or recollections of your sweetness now lost in another time
