Saddened by the loss

Saddened by the loss

A Poem by JRB
"

It would have taken you, a life time to unravel

"

 

Silhouetted my body in its glow
Unprotected I stood
The winds of time gently lifted feathers of
hair
And slapped them against my face
While the moons rays
Where casting my shadow on her eyes
Longing to be, understood
And
loved
All seemed right
That night

 

Woman who almost knew me, is you’re heartbreaking
Why did you give up so soon, was it the undertaking
Were the tasks too great, and the time to long
Was the shell too thick, did I sing the wrong song
Did you look everywhere, to find the right key
That unlocked, the door, which leads to me

 

Where my mind is hidden, buried so deep
Did you know, at my soul, I let you creep
Farther than I let another, tread before
Entering slowing, and noticing my sore
Yet you only scratched a tiny part
That makes the man, inside my heart

 

For a thing that is rich, in the beauty of its light
Is not created, merely over and thru a single night
Neither is it created in an hour, day or a week
Nor with the sap of a finger, from one so weak
You are a woman and a woman you shall be
That thought, she could set my soul free

 

It would have taken you, a life time to unravel
The threads of my soul was it wroth the travel
My heart could have been, your carpet of love
Sent from the stars, wanted only from above
I wonder, if you really ever had the might
To keep on battling this inner plight

 

Or the courage
And
The patience
Even to try
I guess not
So it’s sadly
That I say goodbye
You gave up
Quite
And never tried
Now my love
Starts to wither
Yet it has not died
