PostPoems Be Artistic. Be Creative. Be Inspired!

oh grievance one
who all too clearly recalls
'How I Forgot'
until ye mesmerized me with your own
peppered memories
of a hundred and fifty moments or more
now dwarfed by another far brighter sun
how I forgot
until your incantations collapsed
at the doorstep of mine heart
scattering their love littered leaflets
upon my heart's ailing porch
speak not of forlorn tales no more
for that is all that they may be
echoes rounding a heart that
endlessly now no longer sees
how I forgot
until the pristine sisters above twinkled
in banished regret
before mine eyes
leaving their milky white mist
behind
for galaxies far more inviting
that ye meant not the twilight
spoken from thine own yet shadowed heart
each belief now is a mere illusion
dressing themselves up in the clothing
of finer recollections
of scenes long ago played out
never to be performed again
for such minstrel of love's tangled tryst
can not withstand a repeat performance
so standing up thus
I leave this nocturnal stage
catching my tears as they fall
while withholding my own former delights
in shame.............
