It is sad and painful to hear and to know that this is how we parted from our hearts. And all the best. May I remain to remember the early moments that we are going through and I will never forget to hear your glory and feel the heartache. We will never be forgotten.

 

I wander through the streets at dusk,
Where twilight blends with evening’s hush.
Faint scents and distant voices call,
They whisper memories of you — I feel them all.

An old man sits alone and sighs,
I asked him what clouds his weary eyes.
He said she left without goodbye,
Vanished like a fleeting sky,
And since, his heart’s been aching, dry.

The sea breeze softly strokes the shore,
But nothing helps me anymore.
No tavern lights, no laughter’s call,
If you’re not mine — I have it all.

Last night I drank a little too deep,
And morning rose before my sleep.
I roam the alleys, searching still,
For fragments of a fleeting thrill.
A man plays songs with open hands,
Old melodies through quiet lands.
They say that time will heal the eyes,
But some wounds live where memory lies.

Blue, but you are Rose, too,
and buttermilk, but with blood
dots showing through.
A little salty your white
nape boy-wide.Glinting hairs
shoot back of your ears’ Rose
that tongues like to feel
the maze of, slip into the funnel,
tell a thunder-whisper to.
When I kiss, your eyes’ straight
lashes down crisp go like doll’s
blond straws.Glazed iris Roses,
your lids unclose to Blue-ringed
targets, their dark sheen-spokes
almost green.I sink in Blue-
black Rose-heart holes until you
blink.Pink lips, the serrate
folds taste smooth, and Rosehip-
round, the center bud I suck.
I milknip your two Blue-skeined
blown Rose beauties, too, to sniff
their berries’ blood, up stiff
pink tips.You’re white in
patches, only mostly Rose,
buckskin and saltly, speckled
like a sky.I love your spots,
your white neck, Rose, your hair’s
wild straw splash, silk spools
for your ears.But where white
spouts out, spills on your brow
to clear eyepools, wheel shafts
of light, Rose, you are Blue.
