Missing It's Shine

From my attic... this one is a favorite.


Poem Artwork

Tomorrow when the sun comes up,
my shine will pale, my doors are closed
I've learned the value of passion
that holds the moans of a silent glow

The hard part of loving and the part that fails,
the mission of focus that got out of hand
In growing together, now parted,
no value in the vagueness of now, I don't understand

Give me a reason, calm my desires,
the ones that are flickering and pleading for more
For the one who danced with me,
embraced me, then felt our love grow

My knees are weaker, gone are the plans
you know the ones of floating through skies
Smelling the flowers and walking the paths
hand in hand humming, no reasoning denied

Future and laughter, the comfort and bliss
the fighting that ends in a tenderness kiss
The clutch for a moment, moonlight all around
the smile so electric with the shine that I'll miss

My heart is like his, with pride entrapped
sheltered from love, my what a grind
Broken down guesses with missives amiss,
barely hearts beat when missing it's shine.

Missing It[Is] Shine is a song of sorrow, of love's expectation lost. Its shine is darkly clear.

I kept feeling the push and pull of this...almost as an indecision in the decision to part...wondering what it eould be like and then realizing in retrospect...My heart dropped in the end, even though I knew where you were headed.
I had to look deeply into that attic. What a fabulous picture...jewel-like quality to that glass.
Excellent write Suzie Q....but you caught me crying!
Love,
Taylor

Read with a sigh of resignation.
Touching word of reflection.

I've never been able to grow closer to someone without feeling I was growing farther away from them at the same time. Excellent Pierre.

Your heart dear Susan will shine eternally, even if the maker some day calls you home your heart will continue to shine as a star in the heavens looking down to set the mood for young lovers and old alike for eternity. Thank you for always making us believer in life and love.
