How... revisited

A revisit of a previous poem I wrote — How.... The Reader may read them side-by-side for greater connection and impact. It offers some closure to love's twist and turns.



I still cannot comprehend
how my darkness continues
to contain a burning flame
ignited from your tender smile
years and years and years ago.

How my empty heart
still kept warm by
remnants of your enchanting smile
can still keep me alive
after years of
running and hiding.

How fragments of you
piece together;
gush out of my blood
and
appear in my dreams.

How my temperature
still rises
when I watch,
behind the rest of the world,
you
dancing in the spotlight.

Maybe some day I’d comprehend
how I just seem to get lost
in memories of the past,
now residing in a galaxy
light years away from us.

How I yearn for time
to rewind.
How I yearn for us
to remain young.
How I yearn for
my desperate hope
to ignite sparks
in this pouring rain
to give me courage
to write away the pain.
