In us we felt the deepest part of our soul
Much light we followed to find our footing feet
In darkness now we stumble, no where to go
Numb, lost and humbled in this wretched defeat
Ever the consummate play, it’s pretend to the end
Smiles bring excitement; love is what we’re all after
Curtains close, applause forgotten, stage door friends
Echoes blind our eyes; shadows hide and find no laughter
How can we finish with no beginning, life is so damn cruel!
Being alone, always and forever, seeing what fate bestows
Her paths our imprints only for others to see us as fools?
Finale’s dance over, loves lost, chances gone, end of the road

I love it.. great job.. I have some poet friends that always invite me to go to thier gatherings and I have before. I know some ppl with real talent and you are one of them also! You inspire me to write also.. something I haven't done in so long, it seems foreign to me.. I will have to make time! ;)

This part...

Smiles bring excitement; love is what we’re all after

WOW. Haunting and sad. Reminds me of that feeling I got as a child when it was time to move gain. Or that feeling of when you want the play not to end.

Thank you for your admiration of my work, MisLopez, plz do write.. I'll be looking forward to reading you too..

Yes, Sinner, on both counts...
