The Tide ((bittersweet goodbyes))

by StandStill   May 22, 2008


Oh, bittersweet goodbyes
never set into the glimmer of marble
washed away with this automatic tide
the sea of memory and pleasure

Pure existance is nonexistant
too many spiderwebs filled with lies
broken hearts bleed to live, breathe
starlight burns tears down the mountains

Erosive calamities that shake us,
simply become forgotten on the lilac breeze
stalactites form into weary souls
and it yet it matters not

the tide presses on...

    "Pure existance is nonexistant"

    I think this is the most powerful line in the poem!

    I love how its paradoxical, but so true.

    It's amazing to see your poems!

    Keep writing, and don't forget!

    I like the usage of vocabulary.
    "Erosive calamities that shake us,
    simply become forgotten on the lilac breeze
    stalactites form into weary souls
    and it yet it matters not"
    -Beautiful words, just very beautiful.
