light

light

A Poem by Allen Smuckler
"

Edited and changed for the inclusion in "Unknown Journey: A Voyage through Time".

"

You’ve missed the message I sent today

and lost the passion within.

 

You’ve left me in a moment of panic

and now there’s no return.

 

I always knew which way I’d turn

straight forward toward the light,

 

but moving forward is the easy part

it’s leaving the past that’s hard.

 

So drown my love in the tears of shame

for floundering in the abyss.

 

How can we salvage what we had

when the ship has left its port.

 

Take time to not forget our life

from then until forever.

 

It’s not my choice to end this race

I’ve simply lost my light.

 

And never shall I lose from sight

the message of above.

 

I’ll always know and feel the heat

from the power of our love.

 

Once again the ship embarks

on a voyage without me.

 

I spend what’s left of precious time

and think with all my might,

 

what may have been  and still can be

once we ignite the light.

This piece works on a few different levels for me right now. I know this is way late, but coming back to an area I once felt as safe lets me explore what I keep most people away from. Being continually broken and incomplete, I relate deeply to this situation. Smartly written mah fren'.

You can never go home again as the same person and second chances rarely pan out best to take the knowledge and forge your own path

So romantic and philosophical...of a love lost but with a chance to love again! There are a lot of great lines within this wonderful poem, and I'm glad I stopped by to read!

Wow! this blew me away by the sadness under tone entwining with your beautiful expressions of a love for someone! Excellent Poem!

This is a sadly beautiful poem with words to cry over and think about. Then, it's prayer time and the hope that one day there'll be different meanings and warmer emotions in their stead .. hope is a comforting dance: slow, quick, quick, slow.
