A Highly Martyred Love Song

by Idiosyncratic   May 10, 2007


If I could see your voice echo once more
Off the shattered mirror where once our faces blended
If just one more time I'd feel your hand reaching for mine
Beneath the open, broken window
Where the rain escaped the cold
And shared its pain with us
I'd hold my breath for ten years longer,
Listening for your footsteps
Down a darkened hall
With both walls reaching desperately for each other
If I could just forget those days
When the snowflakes were clones
And songs were only fingerprints
That pressed on for hours
But never made a sound
Are we too far?
Was it too long ago?
Have these memories burned their blackened tears
So deeply in my flesh
That I cannot forget they were created
And maybe next time
We see ourselves
In that shattered mirror
We'll turn away.

    Wow there was something about this poem that reached out to me. I loved all the descriptions, they didnt seem to go over the top yet there was just enough to give your poem grace and structure. I loved how you decided against a rhyme scheme also, it made each line stand out more and made the reader think about what it was saying. Amazing metaphores.. this is one of my favorite poems.. and if you don't mind then I'm going to add it to my book of poetry (I will give you credit for it) thanx for recomending this one.
