La Luna

We shared ecstasy and tumultuous joy,
Yet shared the pain
Of a million forgotten years.
And as my silenced heart
Recalls the joys,
It's my soul that recalls the tears. 

And though I think 
That you care not 
For my future history,
I ask that when you see the moon
Aglow in somber tones,
That you'll quietly think of me.

For somewhere out there
In that faceless night
Lies a man who loved you so
A small and feeble
Little man
With a heart you once called gold.

And although he's
Been all "used up"
And struggles with each day
He'd give up for you
His very life
Then quietly walk away.

Dr. What a lonely/lovely poem of love that although unrequited gives a glimmer of hope that one day the lover wll realize what they have lost. A dreamscape genre. ginga

The tone and simplicity of the rhyming structure were brilliant. I love the story and the emotion behind it and can most deffinitely relate to it. The nuances of personal struggle and pain compliment the purity of the love and devotion expressed wonderfully.

Poetry is what is lost in translation.
