This I Know

Folder: 
Love's Sorrow

Looking back at you, at us,

reliving the memories,

each second of our journey,

tracing heartprints

never far beneath the surface of thoughts,

your name

engraved in permanent tattoo,

your rhythm

beating in the backdrop of my mind,

memorized by soul,

recited silently with every breath,

and this I know...

I will never feel this way again.



Never will the sun

shine as brilliantly

as sunbeams radiating from a shared sky.

The midnight moon

will never quite glow

with that perfect phosphorescence,

nor will painted stars

that glitter each and every night

sparkle as brightly

as the diamond chips

that sprinkled stardust into our eyes,

so this I know...

I will never forget the magic of you.



Nature and it's elements,

once never failing to bring pause,

the fragrance of joy,

the essence of euphoria,

now lack something vitally essential.

The winds still blow their breezes, warm,

and the rain still falls, cool,

but there's a missing tingle

in their embrace,

the one that invigorated,

that made me feel... so alive,

and this I know...

I will always miss you in my life.



Touches

deeper than skin,

caresses

beyond mere flesh on flesh,

more than words

and no less than heaven

found on earth...

call it what you will,

a fantasy,

an illusion created by circumstance,

a matter of perception,

but this I know...

I will never love this way again.

I enjoyed the crisp, clear images in this piece, and the way you built them up, layer on layer. You put a lot of work and skill into this poem, and it shows. Nice read.
