Array ( [sid] => 141731 [catid] => 1 [aid] => mick [title] => Summer Night [time] => 2008-04-20 22:30:11 [hometext] => Just when the shattering of two hearts grew too much to bear our minds started wondering [bodytext] => -----------_____________--------------


On a long and solemn night
in the middle of a southern summer
we sat underneath the moonlight
whispering in the dark
though a million words were said
not a one could be heard
over the sound of teardrops falling
into the dew-soaked grass

Just when the shattering of two hearts
grew too much to bear
our minds started wondering
pondering what was said
searching for right answers
to questions never asked
seeking what could have been
while watching what we had blow away
with the winds of heavy breaths

Slowly we found ourselves hanging to every word
like reading the last chapter slowly
just trying to postpone the end

Because when we run out of things to say
and goodbye can be said no more
we’re disappearing into the distance
like mist fading into the cooling air

Soon there will only be memories
and the photographs that remain
cold comfort for an empty pillow
and the questions wrapped around my head

I just hope that you think of me
at least until the end of time
that you won’t lose me like I lost you
on that solemn night
when the teardrops fell through the warm summer air [comments] => 3 [counter] => 195 [topic] => 2 [informant] => MajesticPoet [notes] => [ihome] => 0 [alanguage] => english [acomm] => 0 [haspoll] => 0 [pollID] => 0 [score] => 10 [ratings] => 2 [editpoem] => 1 [associated] => [topicname] => LovePoetry )

Omigoodness! How desperate! Such a melancholy flooded my soul
upon reading this. Wow. I have been in this very moment and you
captured it completely! The emotions .. the memories .. the sadness ..
the wonder ... the hopelessness ...

oh my! What a beautifully painful piece. Well done, poet! The only
thing that could attempt to stir my heart more than a deeply romantic
poem is a deeply heartbreaking one. Too much even for words, friend.

Outstanding!

Your poem had hit me like a sledgehammer blow to the heart. I was almost overwhelmed by its anguish and bitter sadness.

Superbly and emotionally written
