For a lost lover.. ..

With a curious soul, born of the wind
I sit here stirring now and again,
I think I've found it,
I could be wrong,
If that be the case,
I'll know before long.
My tracks have been lain,
My lies have been told
My heart bares a mane
wild and bold.
I care not to hold back
I show not my real face
This mask I do wear
Molds my emotions in place.
But alas I'm too stubborn,
you've besieged me,
and these words you now read
are testament to 'we'
I can say that I love you
that's not a lie
But to tell you I need to have you
With no reason why.. .. ..
It's cold and unyielding
just like the wind
A creative soul I do have
But now it's farewell that I bid
You owe more no tears,
I've by now shed mine
Just promise me one thing,
You'll always be kind.
Don't close up your soul
It's a beautiful thing.
You have the love, heart, and mind.
And this for you, is only the beginning.
Please do not argue,
I've always known my fate
I'm here to be lonely
And I've accepted this of late
Just please never forget
the kindness I've shown
for most it's a side of me,
Never known.
I love you my dear,
And with one parting wish
I wish you long life
And that you find that one special miss.

This poem is a bittersweet feeling for me. It marks the dying end of a loving relationship, but the birth of a new beginning for both me and a man I loved. It holds a special place in my heart.
