Blinded November 2013

 


If I blink twice,

It will go away,

As if it never existed,

The images pressed on my retina

As if I have stared too long into the sun

And get the after image of what it was

Who she is,

And what I hoped she might be

Only…

It ceased being real,

Even when I prayed it might be,

History does not repeat itself,

The self-deception does,

The fatal attraction

From gazing too long at the moon

Until all else vanished,

She a ghost to me these days,

As remote as a Goddess,

Her shape recreated in moon light

And passing clouds

None of which are real.
