ODE TO THE LOVE I NEVER STOPPED SEEKING(M.A.K.)

Folder: 
JOURNAL #28

sweet eyes

on a stormy day

the ripple of baritone

pulls me in

memory is such a brutally

beautiful thing

marrying me

yet again

always to the tears

that never fail to come

even my next breath misses you

I will always love tomorrow though

for with it comes

the knowledge

that she brings me  

yet another day closer

to you

the end I seek

to obtain

when my time

releases her hold

and permits me

to fly ever fondly forth

home

back to the love

I never stopped seeking

(july17,2003)

Author's Notes/Comments: 

a critique was written to me asking if this poem was about myself. my reply is no, not in the way meant, but rather about a dear dear man named Mak whom I adored who has died. when I speak of a ripple of baritone I am speaking of his awesome deep voice. Though I am no way near that of being suicidal, still I do look forward to the day I pass on so I can be with him once again. Thank you for bringing this to my attention Alyssa!

good poem... is this about you though... like you never stopped looking for you and you love yourself or something. just wondering b/c it says melissa at the end of it and your name is melissa also.
