The Mist Beyond the Falls

by Karl Wild GG23   Nov 5, 2009


Winter fades and spring sets in,
The smell of the air is intoxicating,
While love an passion are growing thin,
A pain settles in my heart, I'm waiting.

Yet love still flows like freshly melted creeks,
The sound almost as angelic as your voice,
I rub my hand across your cherry cheeks,
Wanting to stay, afraid its not my choice.

A noble mist beyond the mystic falls,
Portrays an astounding sight for the eyes,
Grief of words past written on invisible walls,
In search of a pure truth beyond the lies.

Forget it were my slips that made us tumble,
I can't walk without your hand holding mine,
All loves will trip, yes all will surely stumble,
Though ours with time gets sweeter like wine.

A beautiful face appears in the dark calm of night,
Warm breezes caress me like your gentle breath,
I can see through the mist, so close yet not quite,
Life without you the one thing worse than death.

Freely as rivers flow thoughts of you they roam,
I promise I'll always be there to answer your calls,
Keep porch lights on In case you decide to come home,
Waiting forever alone, in the mist beyond the falls.

    That was the stanza I enjoyed the most... Love your style of writing, the rhyme was awesome... Very very well worded poems right here...

    Wow. truly amazing. bravo!! i especially love the last stanza how you tied everything back to the mist beyond the falls. i especially like ur description with "cherry cheeks" instead of the usual cliche "rosey red cheeks" or something like that. very nice 5/5!
