You can be lonely
While not alone,
Abandoned in your soul;


I know…

I can’t think of you
And watch the sea—
The loneliness is
Too terrible for me.

Memory is a graveyard
Of broken dreams
With dark perimeters
Where souls wander—
And dead zones
Where love sleeps

So, if that’s true
What are you to me?

A flash of silver
Through watery leaves—
An elusive glimpse
Of moonlight
Through the trees?

Does it even matter
We exist
Or our pain is even heard?

But one day, as frost melts
Without a trace,
I’ll be gone
And all that will remain
Are these words.

Cuando un amor se va, cuál melodía queda en nosotros!? Las palabras dichas, pero también las no dichas. Las que no se dijeron por miedo o por orgullo, porque también el silencio dice, @johnjggedes. Cuando volvemos la vista atrás y en el pasado la vida se detuvo como una fotografía, vuelves a él pero como el que mira desde lejos. Las palabras se convierten en un eco como el mar en el caracol que lo lleva adentro. El extrañamiento de lo que vivimos. Bonita y fresca noche del sábado.

Gracias, Nancy. Las palabras son como un eco del mar en un caparazón ... ¡tan encantador! Para el escritor, su esencia son las palabras que deja atrás

I adore you

I'm love it, sometimes we feel many things but few can express it in such a beautiful way! <3

thank you!

You speak and write so beautifully, it seems like poetry is easy. It really is a gift!

thank you

Words cannot express more and in this remarkable post, it really brought out the impression and intuition of such emotion.

Are the paintings yours as well. They are very magnetic, they draw me in.

I will never be alone. For there's always:
ME
MYSELF
and
I

Awesome photography.... Love it
