TO, LOVE LOST

 It’s been a day my love,

The pyre is still ablaze, the cold morning air is filled with smoke 

I try to stifle my cries and tears withal my lungs start to choke

My mind is in abyss, heart in distress, I don’t know how to feel

An year of courtship etched a gaping wound that may never heal


It’s been a month my love,

Funeral rites and memorials over with but the silence is loud as ever

They tell me to move on but try as I may, the pain doesn’t seem to deter

I dream of you so often and I can never tell if it’s a nightmare or heaven 

I wish for it to never end, yet it does and I am left all the more broken


It’s been an year my love,

I stand at your commemoration recalling the memories we cherished

The tears have dried up since but your legacy can never be perished

I imagine you are ecstatic that a colleague asked me to dinner and I said yes!

You will forever be a part of me love and I promise to live for the both of us

“Hey do you remember our first date love?”   “Ah yes!

I always hark back to your sweet blushing face Smiling skittishly and trying to keep up with my pace Our hands intertwined slowly as you walked me home And I felt like a blessed character in a beautiful poem We halt, standing inches apart as you bid good bye”   “And we shared a passionate kiss under the night sky Far from an ideal date yet so close to the heart And now i cannot fathom us ever being apart"

SEASONS OF LIFE

The vernal season approaches Bearing new lives, In spring, a flower blooms  And an infant thrives. It lives its life with  Such hope and ambition, So eager to grow up  And then the seasons turn. Adulthood ensues with  A burning passion to conquer, Heat waves of struggle  Announce the arrival of summer. Endless avenues to explore  And chances to be taken but, The prime of life is lost  In search of warmth and comfort. Blissful rain then soothes  The shame of failures and sin Of youth as the monsoon  Washes away the fire within. Livelihood now sound and secure,  Much like personal life, Outside of the occasional rainstorm  Of midlife strife. Once again the biome goes dormant,  Foreboding the end, When comes forth autumn  Which commences the ascend. Physique now well past its prime,  Threatens to fall apart, Identical to the dried leaves  That fall at the seasons’ start. Often cold and cruel yet  Somehow peacef...
