Eternally Graceful And Still Poem by Brett White

Don Juan would have gone mad over you,
Soaring like Eagles do, chasing
The Eternal Flames of Heaven,
Ere they Diminish...
As embers in a furnace.

Lord Byron's Cantos would not
Have done Justice to you,
Eternally graceful and still, a kodak
Moment captured in Time,
Your silhouette, graceful, so graceful
Burned in my mind.

Images Fade but laughter resonates
With a Joyful Echo for all of Eternity.
Narcissus and Echo, forever perplexed,
Chasing each other in Time, He simply could
Not see beyond his own Shadow.

Yesterdays are forever-gone,
And sometimes for the past we long,
Like distant Memories right before sleep,
Your eyes mesmerize me, mesmerized into
The Deep Abyss of Joy with Despair:
My fingers running through your hair,

One last time for the sake of your Smile,
Or Voice so Bright, I could listen awhile-
Forever and a Day to all that you say,
Your Shadow drifting, drifting forever Away.
And the Sadness of the Loss is too much to
Fully Bear,

My Arms--outstretched and bare--I
Reach for you but you are not there.
And I am left grasping Shadows
Of Yesterday,
For forever and a day--

Your Brown eyes o'er me hold total sway,
I listen and smile to every word that
You say.
A crescendo of Excitement Rising
like the Mourning Star,
Ere the Sun, my Love, ever wanders
too far.

If I would have known I'd never see you again,
I would have mentioned these words-
Succinct and plain:
I care for you like a child with his
toy,
Forever lost in the Sands of Time,
Captured in a Passionate Rhyme:

Just so long as you're happy, I shall feel
Joy.
Please don't leave me like the Stars
do the Day,
And even though they're still there-
They're wandering through the Saddest Air,
If 'I love you', I never got to hear you say.
