I remember a time
When my naked soul,
Vulnerable to your
Love's soft melody,
Melted at your whispered words.
Your gentle caress
Upon my damp skin
Captured my wild desire.
Your silken kiss
Of delicate petals
Lighted the flame of passion.
And your sweet smile
And hopeful eyes
Pierced my hollow heart
And filled it with
Shimmering memories
Now
The cold wind
Stings like thousands of needles
Causing me to shudder.
A vacant hole in my life
Sears a new cavity
In my painful lament.
Distant intentions of irony
Echo in my lifeless eyes.
A blunt, yet sincere fate
Silently burns our charming fairy tale
To charred ashes.
Your last moments
Imbedded in my mind,
As I drown in lost
A simple glint
Had shined in your
Fading eyes.
As the sharp blade
Wallowed deeper,
Cutting into your flesh,
Drawing crimson blood
That trickled steadily
Stifling my hot tears.
Your ragged, last breath
Escaped into the stars,
Forever gone.
And your hand
Slipped slowly from my
Tenacious grasp
Sending me into a
World of sorrow.
