~ Forlorn ~

Like the kiss of twilight to a greying world,
Stranded emotions bury themselves
Under footfalls of memories
Whence your footsteps end
But mine carry on.

      Thank you. That’s a picture from Beijing – I was there last year for around a month, and recently asked a friend there how everything was, so she sent me this picture. Couldn’t resist writing this peace (although the poem itself is longer, the post wouldn’t allow it all to be written, hehe)

    ~ Forlorn ~

    Like the kiss of twilight to a greying world,
    Stranded emotions bury themselves
    Under footfalls of memories
    Whence your footsteps end
    But mine carry on.

    And in the dawning solitude, I wonder
    How much of you have I truly left behind in the past?
    And how much of myself do I trample upon, with the memories of
    Yesterday
    Lying buried under my feet….
