Poetry: Long ago

by Janette Dengo

Created on: October 28, 2008   Last Updated: February 20, 2011

Long ago,

Feels like eons since I felt your kindness
The one, which made me smile from within
All I hear lately is echoes of the belittling madness
As our undying love is pushed aside and worn-out thin

The oasis has frozen solid lovers paradise had vanished
Sparking is our daily flame though the flint is gone
You are everything to me yet I am famished
To at last feel safe in the arms of THE ONE

Instead deep gashes to my heart you wound
As love burns inside my needs longing for you
Our hugs and kisses of passion once fully bloomed
My red lips are getting cold and turning a shade of blue

Thoughts of starting all over again are reminiscing
Magnitude of my love is so neglected you know
Yet I close my eyes to the truth you're missing
Daily I am torn apart whether to stay or go

My voice unheard, you are so unreachable
Bloodline runs deeper then just the water of me
Long ago our passion was magical and remarkable
With these my final words praying to choose us I plea

Your choice clear to stay within reach, you will stay living
Foreseen outcome darling, somehow always known
Even though, I am shaped of my heart giving
For me the choice would be thrown

Feels like eons since I felt your cores heat
My lonely soul aches and seeks peace with tears
Of time when our two hearts in harmony use to beat
Though am afraid that I have to finally unveil my fears

I thrive in my daily insignificant routines overlooked
In verses of unread poetry, my amateur style of art
Appointment with sadness is long over-booked
As you walk to stomp in decays of my heart

All hope and belief feels lost in love we had
Beyond repair is the damage to our love entirely
Feeling sick with cramps that somehow you are glad
Your words of adore turn to dust for this broken family

Fears drenched in nightmares as my stomach is turning
To awake and to realize a marriage has failed
Unable to douse my soul it is fully burning
Final nail in our coffin has been nailed
