Scarlet's Poetry Den "CyberSeries"

Response to Answer

love is a question, not an answer
which must keep asking itself
over and over again
when it cannot hear its own voice
it commits suicide
somewhere into the continuum
to purge and renew itself
and bring another heart to life

so I will call you my love
though you do not answer
the joy you brought
burned too bright and deep
with an unbearable lightness of being
I will never know its like again
it sparked my soul and spirit
brought me to life again

the gods have knit my life carelessly
you are a loose strand
but even you will not unravel me
as I continue to tuck in the pieces

be still, my heart, for you will mend
and find what you so desperately seek
... just not today
and tomorrow will come
