my first poem

Where have you gone?

Conflicting emotions
Fears and apprehensions
The soul cries out
And gropes for light.
The mist refuses to rise.
Chaos abounds,
Lonely and desperate,
I long to confide.
No ray of hope,
Darkness surrounds.
Where have you gone?
Oh! Where have you gone?

Encumbered heart,
Crimson, wet eyes,
Anxieties escalate,
Smiles fade,
Chasing my dreams,
I am lost.
Horizon awaits,
Enigmatic whispers
Beckon my name,
Darkness surrounds.
Where have you gone?
Oh! Where have you gone?

A kaleidoscope of memories,
I reach out to touch,
But, they fly by
Illusions on golden wings.
Nostalgia grows,
Suffocating me
Agony declines to abate,
Darkness surrounds.
Where have you gone?
Oh! Where have you gone?

Love craves,
Passionate desires,
Feeble fantasies,
Virtual realities,
You elude me.
My beacon dims,
Darkness surrounds.
Where have you gone?

Oh! Where have you gone?
