Will you miss me when I’m gone ?
25 August 2015

Shades of us shone bright
Articulate dark on lights
Playing with eyesight
Century split half
Moving toward our shadow
A bright future lit
What happened behind?
Hindsight now failed me always
As did memories
Arms spread out seeking
I had searched for you all days
A lifetime thus spent
Seeing you never
Though my being you pervade
Etched in all my thoughts
Sun-kissed paths we trod
Walking towards each other
Blindfolded and mute
No touch did we need
Imprints in our very soul
Spoke more than could flesh
You gazed upon me
Seeing me best with mind’s eye
As I perceived you
Abandoned to you
My soul kept for your soul watch
You knew as did I
Time would take its toll
On our hearts that beat tireless
As tunes in ears rang

The World disappeared
No loss would I ever fear
Our Love infused all
Words locked in embrace
A blessed recognition
We held on steadfast
Time flew relentless
Stars opposed but move on
Bow to depths we hold
Careening through Time
Like dances of Golden Age
That all hurt soothes
This body fails me
Though soul keeps it standing still
To hope’s tunes we seek
Your voice now alit
With energy makes me whole
Restoring body
With renewed respite
Will you still reach me in time?
If only I knew
Grim is the reaper
In darkness still he awaits
As days slide silent
Grief to hope skips slim
Boldest instinct: survival
An uneven chance
Mind soared to morrow
Will you miss me when I’m gone?
I will forever
