"a system of linked sounds" - [poetry dump]

gumusservi (eng)

gumusservi - (n.) moonlight shining on water

at dawn by the sea
I wait upon your return
still hopeful, still loving
although you left me all that time ago
with only the promise of your coming back

once the sun has set
and turned to stardust
my mountain of hope
is crushed to pebbles
soon to be sand
soon to be lost

Come! Come!
I beg the wind to tell you
howling she carries my words
and everything I never said

forcefully she finds me
and she whispers
again, and again, and again
that you're gone

so I weep and I cry
salt to salt
a piece of me dies
my heart shatters in the sand
while I scream at the moon

merciless, the tides come
and wash the heart away
that I no longer recognise as mine

may we reunite by the light of day
