Yesterday's Shadow

Yesterday's Shadows

O' heart that spirals endlessly
upon promised wings, broken
emotional tide, rise and fall
truth buried in words unspoken

Surrender to the dark of night
as teardrops beckon sleep
fall from time's, intrusive thought
in memories that you keep

Release the pain that weeps
sever ties that loosely bind
thrust forward oh beaming light
leave darkness far behind

Build happiness upon honesty
lay bricks in solid line
a path of genuine colors
that links your heart, to mine

    Nicely done Luanne! Flow and rhyming spot on!

    "O' heart that spirals endlessly
    upon promised wings, broken
    emotional tide, rise and fall
    truth buried in words unspoken"

    ^ I really like these lines....

    ....love the wings metaphor!...and the way you end line two with the word broken...actually breaks the flow of the poem in just the right way...

    I can see the promise of tomorrow and the hope for a new start in these words.....how important truth and honesty are in life and love...

    Take care, Debbie
