it's true

06/2012

                        

                         if you were to look long enough into my eyes

                                 you could probably see frayed images of her

                                              burnt deeply into my retina's  

                                  ages were spent looking at her purest form

                                     sleeping softly within my tender gaze

                                             years have past, many years

                                       and still I wake up reaching for her

                                         the memories nor the hope will

                                                            relinquish me

                                         they drag me through the deepest

                                                  and darkest of emotions

                                           my heart still quickens with hers

                                        my mind still picks up on her thoughts

                                              it's true, soul mates are forever

                                                  in one way or the other

It's a masterpiece. You brought pain through your words, you really locked a piece of yourself into this! That's what I've always liked about your poetry I think, you don't just make something that sounds nice or has relevance.. you paint your soul out a bit in each little line. It's been a while since I've reviewed anything of yours and I have to say you've developed even further as a writer! I am honestly and sincerely impressed with this piece Joshua, it's going into my favourites.

Oh wow I think this is by far my favorite of yours. I completely love this! It's beautiful and at the same time sad.
My favorite lines:
"It's true, soul mates are forever
In one way or the other" That's absolutely true :)
Keep writing!!

Wow. Deeply touched ... a very emotional write :))

nicely done.. "soul mates are forever.."

This could be a very good lyric to a song, reminds me of the good 'ol Alesana days and I also used to listen to A Skylit Drive back then. Their lyrics, especially that of Alesana were of contemporary retelling of greek and roman mythos, and both often speaks about the perils and toll of love and the like. And yeah, I also do believe in soulmates and karmic bonds.

Beautiful and very emotional poem. Great work, i felt the pain of not having someone you love deeply there with you. Good work :3

[johnnyqueer]

Beautiful, really.
Saddens me a bit, because this poem speaks volumes to me.
