Separate Paths Poem by Lora Colon

Separate Paths



Two hearts thrust onto separate paths,
Love's pledges no longer declared,
Fading into oblivion.....
Those tender moments we once shared

My heart learned to sing.... now it cries,
In the corner glows a small fire,
A flame that gives not light nor heat,
Just an ember of love's desire

The silence is overwhelming,
The absence of love's calming word
Shatters the morning's gray lining,
Love's crystal clear vision, now blurred

My eyes grow dark, here comes the rain,
Another storm batters my heart,
When love dies, must memories live on?
Like salt rubbed in wounds.... how they smart

Love has lost its sanctuary,
A warm, tender heart closed its door,
Once again, a homeless vagabond,
My love wanders a lonely shore

Two hearts thrust upon different paths,
O, the pain separation brings,
Love was not meant to walk alone,
And despairs in its wanderings

I'm sure the man that you lost would be very flattered, and possibly regretful, if he knew you were writing such beautiful poetry in tribute to the love you both once shared.

Your poem reminded me of Frank, an ex. We had love, but we were forced into separate paths, and my heart cried. But a new love was found, and life is now good. Thanks for the poem and the memory it brought. Darla :)
