Lost and Gone



You sped through my life

Like a fiery comet

In the lonely night sky

Brilliant, dazzling, quiet

I blinked, spun around to look

And only saw the stars winking

Back at me – mocking me

As if to say, oh fool

Another one got away

Too late now, you had the chance



You flew by on golden wings

Through shimmering daylight

Tinged the azure limitless sky

Giving gentle caresses, open kisses

You stole my soul without warning

I never knew it left me

So I swept you aside like snowflakes

Trying to melt through my heart

Flung you aloft back to where

Only memories make their home
