Light

Posted by Beeme on June 30, 2011 - 20:14

There’s no turning back-
my shadow walks the opposite way.
My flesh and bones
don’t want to contain the pain.
My eyes shake,
try to close the shutter on your image.
Memories float like ghosts
and they can’t apologise
or re- build safety bridges,
arms wrapping tight around your body.
See they want to leave,
but the light won’t let them.
The light from your smile.

I too love the line that Sunday's mentions, Beeme, and all in all, the poem contains some wonderful imagery. Well done;-)
