My Life Is A Beautiful Sadness

My life is a beautiful sadness,
A song that wrenches the heart,
Oh where can I find a knowing ear?
An inescapable sorrow wells within,
Oh where can my soul find rest?
There is so much beauty…
But the sadness marks the test…
Knowing is anguish but I dare not forget

I look at the stars and see your face,
Looking at you is like gazing at the sun,
That rare glow in a myriad of lights,
Stumbling in darkness I try to reach you,
Tell me the secret of your love,
Hold me in your embrace and take flight,
Beyond reality..unspeakable bliss,

My life is a beautiful sadness,
So painfully beautiful,
I am laughing and crying,
I can do without neither,
I pluck the strings of sorrow and joy,
A masterful composition plays in my heart,

My life is a beautiful sadness,
The heavens did conspire,
To walk the line of solitude and desire,
To know joy and happiness yet never acquire,
I cannot escape this destiny of beautiful sadness,
I cannot escape the tears from your eyes,
Your name is etched in my hurt heart,
You are my beautiful sadness..you are my life.

SuSpence commented on My Life Is A Beautiful Sadness 07-13-2009: Wow, this is my 4th read of yours and it may be my favorite so far. This is such a beautiful poem, I am almost speechless. One thing I have noticed is the melodic flow of your words. I dont know if you are a songwriter, but if not you should really look into this is, I think with your writing ability, with some musical talent you could turn that beautiful sadness into beautiful music and maybe make an even bigger impact than you ever expected.; Reply to Comment
