Nathaniel Maloney: POETRY
Love
Written by Nathaniel Maloney
Your whimsical smile eludes me as you sail amidst the leaves of green
Where time reveals little of the tell tale endeavours of joyous love
Hidden somewhere silent in this throne of stones gathered by rivers of old
Forgotten I presume were dreams left long ago scattered far and wide
Left silent by times essence never to show a way beyond the tides change
Only to find the tears of the ocean crying for the land where it cannot stay
To you I accept, and to you I deny as I never will find a way to know the truth
For truth will lie and hold it’s disguise preying upon the ones who hold it close
But still your smile eludes me as you sail amidst the leaves of orange and red
When coldness calls and the leaves do fall I see the arms reaching barren
Under the stars and signs of old dancing in perfect time with the wind
Only to find that your smile eludes me as you sail amidst morning mist
