"The River"

I stand before these angry waters,

Hoping for some kind of magical ascent to help me cross.
I cannot even see my reflection because these waters are flowing vigorously,
As if possessed by Zephyrus, the Great God of the Winds.

I did cross them once,
When our love carried us through all that is hurtful.
But now you're gone, cast within the depths of his evasive shadows.
All I have left are memories of your seductive smile, golden eyes, and mesmerizing scent.

I tried yelling out to the heavens pleading for your return;
But was only responded by Mother Nature’s Song.
Now my heart bleeds endlessly and the darkness is devouring my soul;
Without any light to guide me across.
