LET MY MEMORIES WHISPER WORDS OF LOVE

Let my memories whisper words of love
To your thoughts, as moonlight streams
          Through the windows of my dreams.
And the shadows of the snow-flakes write
          A verse upon the sky,
          As far away you lie;
Forsaken, not forgotten,
          By the soul amidst the stars,
Who carries every vision, right
          From Mercury to Mars.
                        
You sank beneath the tidal wave
Of circumstance and time
And bubbles that arise in wake
In unision burst in rhyme
          And far away, above the lake
          Where echoes, mournful, chime
The starlight glistens on the snow
Of nameless graveyards, and the glow
Of candles, to the thoughts of lonely lovers is confined.

And generations of merchandizing,
Sermonizing, tantalizing
Advertising taught us every virtue can be sold.
And we, believing this big lie
Did cease to live, except to die
And tried to turn emotion and our passion into gold.

But gold turns black with time and age
And so does beauty's fair visage
For shadows fall before the sun
Can rise; the clock will ever run,
And everyday a day is done
And time turns one more bloody page.
Thus every new generation comes,
Is born to live, yet lives to run
From death, and when its time is done
Is laid to rest within the cage
Of evermore and eternity
With a false facade of serenity
And the eye of truth perceives it all
And smoulders with a burning rage!

Let my memories whisper words of love
To your thoughts as moonlight fades
          Through the gaping wounded gates
That bound the fragrant garden
          Of love, where we did lie
          Together beneath the sky;
The world around forgotten on
          Some lonely pine-wood glade
When you spoke to me with glances
          "Let not this moment fade
           Let time, the river, cease to flow
           Let circumstance be bound.
           And I be lost forever in your
           Heart, and not be found."

  1. Just chanced on your blog... Such a wonderful poem this is.. really loved the last verse.. especially these lines..

    "Let not this moment fade
    Let time, the river, cease to flow
    Let circumstance be bound.
    And I be lost forever in your
    Heart, and not be found."
