Shades Of Gray

by Sunshine   Nov 20, 2010


Do you remember illuminating my
dark nights with love sparkling in your eyes?

How my heart leaped for
the delicacy of your sweet words?

When your smile drenched
my dim days with sunshine drips.
How long I danced and twirled
to the enchanting tunes of your
heart beats!

My mornings started
at the depth of your voice,
and ended with the warmth
of your protective arms.

My years grew learning
how to devote each breath
I inhale for you..

For now the hugs I recall
are too cold.
And the words I try to reach
are lost between the shades
of gray

And our moments are pierced
behind an empty frame.
Embracing sweet history
surviving as the queen of rain.

For I'm doomed to fall everywhere
you ever passed by;

remembering that your wells
are too rich to care.

I chose shades of gray because this is remembrance of what's still leaking from my past toward my present. Stuck between black and white.

    I find this stanza so dear and sentimental, to wake up to the voice of a loved one and to remain in their arms..liked the image here!

    And our moments are pierced
    behind an empty frame.
    Embracing sweet history
    surviving as the queen of rain.

    "piereced behind an empty frame"...this line speaks loud of the separation and I liked how you have described sadness and crying.."queen of rain." Beautifully sad..

    Oh gawd nana! This was an absolutely STUNNING write. So powerful, so beautiful, so sad, so amazing. Your first two lines already blew me away, and you continued blowing me away with the rest of it. The imagery was there and strong, and i love some of your word choices. Great write my love!

    I really liked this poem a lot and I think it was because of the message this poem carried. Some parts of this poem I could relate to myself and all the beautiful sorrow you had in this poem was heartbreaking. Also once again this poem like a lot of your poem show the depth in which you can get to. I even tried picking out a stanza that I liked the most but found that to be near impossible. Also the flow was really good and I liked the simplicity of it all together. There were also parts of the poem that had great imagery, which I really liked as it painted a picture of suffering as the reader read the lines dripping with sadness and pain. Over all you did a wonderful job with this poem and I found the message to be very good and also the emotions to be heart rending. Great job and keep writing.
