Everything you love is right here

a murmurous voice whispers your name
and on lonely nights I whisper it back
reminded of our sordid dalliance
I weep for you.
ephemeral entanglements still damning

trembling hands cannot hold effervescent passions
as in the lips that kiss away a tear
never a question of what might have been
I collected the ashes
they fell like sands in an hour glass.

for a moment I knew love.
for a lifetime I knew pain.
evocative veneration met no forbearance
and to you I am bound.
ineffable agony a harbinger for love lost.

A single tree the only witness to incurable affection
a secret longed for
with the delicate strength of a gossamer
fear rivaled love in our heart's mind
and I flew away from you

I carry pieces, a photo, a letter, a book
and we stand under the same sky
telling us to forgo the call of the void
so youre left carrying the most Mellifluous letter:
Everything you love is right here.
