Lost Love

Bitter
and sweet
the memories burn
as I lie here
on the rippling water's edge
gazing over at the setting sun.
As it slowly descends upon the horizon
my aching heart melts over and over again.
The intense warm hues of the immensely painted sky
send burning memories of your soft long-lasting enduring embrace.
The emptiness I feel runs deep like the oceans stormy squalls.
Vast waves crashing on shore as my heart cries out for you.
No longer will we wrap our sensual bodies in pure intimacy.
Gone are the days we caress each other with affection.
As the sun sinks deeper it radiates fiery hues
scorching my every emotion of love and loneliness.
I reach out my arms for you
but only your memory I grasp.
Just sand through my fingertips.
Lost love forever intact
in my dreams.
Bitter and
Sweet
