Drift

A poem of love lost

You drift away, though I wish you’d stay here
You may not fade in time, but you still drift away
I don’t know if an illusion was this affair
Or maybe it was too passionate a play.

This intense, unquenchable love
Set roots deep inside my soul
Don’t know when it started or when it’ll go of
But without it I’m but a blank, ancient scroll

Through the haze I see your face
I feel I could never let you go
As I see you in the distance fade
You are tattooed deep inside my core

As you drift away in this last moment
I see my dreams erode to dust
I keep you within me frozen
To remember our burning lust.

Again, very nice, beautifully smooth and gentle yet powerfully emotional. You have a gift for capturing the souls words!

The love, the loss, the longing are so powerfully written and beautifully described.

Your poem is bittersweet and beautiful.

I do like it!! Your words clearly convey the devotion to and the emotion of losing a love! I like the lines that tell of the one you love fading in the distance -you are tattooed deep inside my core. The tattoo indicates a love that shall always remain!
