Winter Blues
I felt the shimmer of your soul
as you quietly moved your hand
the space between... filled with silence
my heart heard your voice within
causing rain to fall
it dripped from my face leaving trails where I sat
staining the barren floor of sadness...lonely and silent
the only movement was from my eyes searching the dark
as I waited for the next grain of sand
to fall slowly from the hourglass
landing on the tortured pangs of goodbye
with empty hands... trembling
while the heart rippled and bled
pierced by the cold blade of anguish
and the sorrowful cries of love's death
when I touched the face of pain
and disappeared into the night
wearing the dark cloak of loneliness
