& i lost u (7)


& i lost u

i lost someone, my love
someone who's greater than the stars above
someone who I need
someone who don't let my heart bleed...
james brown

i have lost my way. my poor soul, an empty
abyss. love is an incomprehensible
mystery; my world, dimly sensed, is not much
more than a faint, disintegrating shadow.
i saw u, my love, transfigured, bathed in the
light of attraction. u whom i blithely picked
to love thru means unconscious & unknown.
i saw yr transcendence & shrank back; could not
stand the glory & majesty of u -- had
to bring u down to planes of tribal custom
where i might understand u… & I lost u.

  1. I know you, my brother. This is a back-handed amends!

  2. I have to say this was a deep one. It's very true what they say love moves in mysterious ways. You fall in love and see that person grow as a person with the love you share. However, one day you loose that special someone. Sad but at the end of the day I am a strong believer that everything happens for a reason.

  3. You love someone but you find yourself losing that person in ways you dont intend to. There are certain things you are doing to that person without intentions that keeps pushing them away. But, you love them, and you don't want this.

  4. Love is so mysterious that even when you think you understand it somethang else comes around to tease your mind. The closer you get to understand it the more confusion comes to mind.
