NIRVANA'S EPITAPH
I tried to pine away for you – to suffer
The loss of this affair as a martyr; you did love
Me well but we’ve carried this love to its conclusion.
Somehow the tone and tint of our romance lost
It’s light during our conversations in the dark.
The imprint of us became entangled with
Dreams taking opposing courses to our plans…
Always on the threshold of abandoning the duet
While calculating the advantage of freedom;
Our unconscious instincts radiating waves
Of borderless ambitions arriving as silent solos.
“We” couldn’t survive that kind of competition.
I thought to learn a new language from your lips,
To comprehend the percussion of you in my bones
And poetize your body as if I were reading braille.
This is a sad epitaph to this drama in one act.
But I will remember the geography of your features
And regret that I could not discover who
You really were on the other side of your skin.

Hi Chris!…I write from my own life experiences and my emotional depth is mentally heavy.  This situation is history in my life, however, with this poem I revisited the situation.  Sometimes one wonders why you loved with restraint instead of "going for broke" as my mother used to say.  I "see" into the marrow of the bone at times…and start from there when I write.
I thank you for your compliments…you humble me.

Such an elegant write. I can relate to it so much at this time in my life.
Keep writing Val.
Thanks Emma…it really was a difficult decision for me…we just weren't going in the same direction.  Even the passion we shared became a selfish act.
