Memory

I recall the way it was
You presence floating through the sunshine of my heart
Mouthing the phonetics of love
Your language beyond the five senses
Yet there I was, understanding every word

Just something not meant to be
Sliding out of reach of your phosphorescent beauty
To be always at that high tide mark of your life
Only feeling your rolling caresses
Under the steady pull of an orbiting reflection

My soul tries to dance
In the disjointed rhythms of the part of you in me
Yet now lethargy lounges
Over only glowing coals of desire
And inspiration is a fire’s life away

My love is again taken by the darkness
Storm clouds of loneliness stretch past horizons of hope
Enveloping turbid emotion
‘Till the falling down in the gravity of despair
Saturating me in unforgettable memory
