[hometext] => This is probably the most personal thing I have ever written, but since most of you don't really exist in my life, it doesn't really matter.
[bodytext] => The stars enfeebled me that night They shone bright like the eyes of love Reminding me of beauty that I had once held Trembling in my arms The waves below lapped softly against her side Purring into my ears But as I made my rounds I found the same empty cabin But then gently Your voice I could hear The cooling breeze playfully bounced your lullaby onto my face And the feeling was overwhelming It was so familiar It bore into my heart I steered her closer to your presence And then the two became one The unification was overpowering Something lost for so long now singing in my ears But then something unimaginable occurred You surfaced and she submerged And I slowly floated onto your cool touch Surprised yet happier beyond words I arose More existed in you I was sure The comfort that I seeked The needs that were stolen by her But I could not help one look back at the tragedy Drifting away, farther each moment Her ruins scattered on the horizon I barely noticed the teardrop that cascaded down my right cheek Carrying away all remorse Your whispers became stronger And focused me once more I had to press forward I had to see your inner beauty But as I neared the heart of your being I hit solid rock A wall A barrier keeping me from the true you A seemingly mandatory step Your song was louder than ever But sweeter than I could bare I tore at myself I lashed out at my own wasted time before All the moments slain because of my cowardice Self-loathing ruptured my whole Blackness stabbed at my sight The end swung before me Toying with its newly found victim But then you were there The thing I was searching for Longing for since the death of her You were prettier than I had ever imagined And your sunshine warmed my scars I laid down and made a bed in your soul Away from the rotting grove where she had carried me before Sleep came instantly in your nurturing embrace Rocking me into a nirvana of contentment Knocking me out to await The inevitable heartache [comments] => 2 [counter] => 261 [topic] => 30 [informant] => sicknivesevered [notes] => [ihome] => 0 [alanguage] => english [acomm] => 0 [haspoll] => 0 [pollID] => 0 [score] => 0 [ratings] => 0 [editpoem] => 0 [associated] => [topicname] => PoemsonBeauty )
