Beneath A New Caress



The moment that we met,
Our paths became entwined,
Our future never set
We hoped our fate be kind

We danced in smoky halls
And held each other tight
My memory still recalls
How we spent each night

Looking past my shoulder
You were always there
Time passed, we grew older
With crosses hard to bear

All those bloody battles
Were bathed in seering pain
Though tearing us apart
We stumbled on again

Now all those memories
We must carefully lock away
Waiting on the breeze
To whisper past one day

You still haunt my dreams
Drifting through my sleep
I know now what it means
I'll choose the best to keep

It's time to move along
To begin our lives anew
To remember what went wrong
And always to be true

I hope that we stay friends
To rejoice again some day
They say that time mends
And takes the pain away

So onwards to tomorrow
Let's toast to happiness
Drowning all our sorrow
Beneath a new caress

You express inner emotions so well Arcana, your words reach out and I have no doubt that others will empathise.

Time will eventually heal most things, but it can be a long journey.  Your poem is beautifully sad Arcana, if it is personal then I hope your journey will be a short one.
