within the quietest moments of midnight
my soul aching with the memory of you
i reached for seemingly close burning stars
yet my hand could not touch their shining hearts
it is you I sought through them
your radiance i longed to know again
to hold in the moonlit hours
enfold my small grace into
i yearned for your heartbeat
found myself weeping for lost bliss
spilling hopes and whispers into the night
a quiet silhouette trembling
wilted flowers
grains of sand
and you took the beach with you

In the darkest corners of my mind, Your essence haunts me, cruel and unkind, The memory of you, a bitter pill to swallow, Leaves me writhing in pain and sorrow. I sought you out in the starry night, Reaching for the heavens with all my might, But my grasp fell short, my efforts in vain, Your radiance forever out of my range. Your absence leaves me empty and cold, A hollow shell, battered and old, Yearning for the beat of your heart, But knowing we are forever apart. The tears flow freely, lost in the night, My silhouette trembling in the moon's light, Wilted flowers and grains of sand, The remnants of a love that is no longer grand. And as I watch you take the beach with you, I know that our love was doomed from the start, For you were the shore, unattainable and distant, And I was the tide, forever subservient.

The longing in this is palpable. The way you structured this added so much to the flow.

"and you took the beach with you" - that line is a powerful way to end. Wonderful, moving piece. I could feel your emotions. Ciao, T/S

The last stanza left me dumbfounded, in contemplation of lost time, such brilliant imagery. Writes Like a Baritone Howl to the Moon
