If Lips Could Kiss Away The Pain
"......I'm going back to a place that's far away
How 'bout you? I know you've got a place to stay
Why should I care, when I'm just trying to get along?
We were friends but now it's the end of our love song..."
If my lips could touch your face
and gently kiss all the hurt away
then it would have already been done
I'd have done it right now..... today
a love professed so strongly by two
quickly melts into a lonely sea of one
and the pain of the severed member
affects the very existence of the other one...
Halves no longer whole and pain is no longer two,
the damage of a perfect love so real
seemingly can't be undone
worlds apart, baby what can we do?
Our now becomes lost in the cacophony of
anger, rage, disdain and distrust.
Troubled waters disintegrate a beautiful masterpiece
and it becomes but a white noise,
a cantankerous bucket of rust
that blows away and eventually lost....
....never again found
Where has our love gone? Why do we fight so hard to be so damned strong?
.....winning the battle but losing the whole damned war
The strength of our now was always the power of two
But you have closed dark shades upon my bright light
I'm growing weary of the anguish
and my soul knows not what to do......
....you have from the beginning been so much more than a crush or muse. You became my life.
If a tender kiss on your eyelid
could wash the pain away,
I'd be there right now, I'd be there today
yet in this repugnant moment of our beautiful now,
I'm having trouble finding *my* way
and I'm quite lost....
....and I feel this time my forever is truly gone.
"...so let's leave it alone
seems we can't see eye to eye
there is no good guy
there is no bad guy
There's only you and me
and we just disagree..." by Dave Mason

Wow Mr.M that is the first time I can remember reading such a downtrodden "love" poem from you. I hope you will soon see blue skies again-- somehow intuitively I think your loved one sees things in a much more positive light. Don't ask me why, but oftentimes I am right about these hunches. :) <3

Your pen seemed defeated and helpless in this piece; as if giving up and surrendering. Quite the opposite of your true spirit, Sheldon!
Sadly beautiful ink...Xoxo

Thank you for that comment......although not so different. There are very few true tones, only blended hues

Damn, maestro. I guess grown-up pain and hardship leads to an even different kind of love and reflection. Strong layer. Thank you for releasing this!
