This is an old poem of mine that I wrote a few months back. It was been requested by the wonderful mod to be shared and put in this section. Hope you enjoy it. :)
Lost Soul Found
Such a ghost of beauty which haunts my past With skins touch of silk that will no longer be The life has been stolen from those eyes And the blush on her cheeks turned pale
What was said in that final wind of breath? Were all harsh struggles finally laid to rest? My thoughts search deep within my minds past All that was left was emptiness
I know not the sound of your voice; silenced Nor your steps; I imagine they were graceful I know of your long hair; curly brown And in my mind I knew your face
I wish I could say goodbye one last time Before you drifted into your final sleep But when the warm southerly wind blows I feel your sigh comfort my soul (I know I'm not alone, for somehow you've been found And I smile as my heart rejoices)

An oldie but a goodie! You already know this is one of my favorites. Of course, you dipping your quill into the darker side of life thrills me!! I'm bad, I know! But the power in this is great. I can't really offer constructive feedback, as it's just to my liking. Kudos, my friend. ~Lady Poe

Your friend in writing,

thanks for the bump I got a chance to select it through my reading material I love the way Tessy builds images and sentiments in her words, makes me feel like I'm staring through a microscope in her soul, seeing each atom of her feelings displayed as an individual particle to absorb into my mind's vacuum. this poem belongs here because it shares a ghostly atmosphere, a feeling of haunting and regret, sorrow "I know not the sound of your voice; silenced Nor your steps; I imagine they were graceful" fav. verse, I can relate here "I wish I could say goodbye one last time Before you drifted into your final sleep" this is probably the peak of the grieving process, and as I've had my share of demises in the family I can actually read it out loud as if it was me who spoke it. last 2 lines were the twist, though, a sense of finding comfort in something, and rejoice... I don't know those yet, so you're one step ahead great poem, kutipi, I have to say I love it line by line and I should probably get used to such wonderful work from you, but you always amaze me... much love
Awwww...Alexe, you're too much. *hugs* How have you been? I'm so excited to see you here! :D And thanks again for the comment. I am blushing all over. *bluuuuuussssshhhhh* hehe
