memory 2014

 

in the end

All that remains is

the memory of it the

stirred broth I ache to taste

to satisfy this urge

that grew into something

it was never supposed to become

an unexpected butterfly

rising from a cocoon

 I thought was all there was

when there became so much more

in the end

 there is only the memory of it

 the soft touch in the dead of night

the connected lips of a kiss

we should have avoided

 the silky feel of you

 I should never have tried to feel

and embrace

a tease , an intense and

delightful pain

all packing into that limbo time creates

reshaping it all into something

that seems all pleasant

when it was not

memory hiding the truth better

than forgetting does

 shaping reality into something different

 from what it was

and revealing what it could have been

when it could never have been

 in the end
