Since from your life, <br />I stubbornly departed, <br />Your craggy face, <br />Was perennially creased <br />With a simulated half smile… <br />It is the trace of time, <br />And you should know, <br />That my feelings for you <br />Turned like dried leaves <br />Carried away by the turbulent wind… <br />My once tender caresses <br />Spreading like a wildfire, <br />All over your shaking body <br />Are now, sadly, forever gone, <br />It is time for me to sing a new song… <br />My rejuvenated heart, <br />Still as soft as cotton, <br />And my mind as strong as steel, <br />Have set new boundaries <br />For me, patiently to follow… <br />No more tears or heartfelt pain, <br />Or desperately looking for you <br />Through the dusty hills <br />Or my own shadow or dreams… <br />Now, seeing things in different ways, <br />And going at my own pace, <br />To cast a new and brighter light, <br />Through destiny's highway... <br /> <br /> <br />©All Rights Reserved-2010<br /><br />Romeo Della Valle<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/a-destiny-s-highway/
