the sum of all emotions …




feelings fade, vanishing into the wisps of departing time,


lost in the echoes of paltry scribbled rhyme,


their embers simmering, emotions like ash, into the skies gently climb,


whispers murmuring, hushed into silence – a tragic pantomime,


while I claw and crawl, seeking a glimpse, of your beauty sublime.



Alas, ’twas not to be,


I pushed you away, far beyond what my eyes could see,


yet I smiled, tasting my salty tears, as I witnessed thee,


flying away from the pain, into the bluest skies,


to be yourself at last,


always true,


forever free
