I stare out the window, into
a blank space, echoes of an
empty mind, no comfort
comes of it, nothing but
a longing, for something
For someone, to comfort
me, hold me, and remind me
everything will be okay, four
simple words, for me, a
complex piece, in which
the puzzle, missing a corner
Can never be
Completed, or
Whole

I am old but not so old
I have traveled to everywhere
And nowhere
From the beginning of time
To the ends of the Earth
I’ve encountered strange things
And run from the mundane
There is much before me
But nothing behind me
Though time has passed slowly
I am rapidly wasting away

The clouds, though darkening,
Gray, hold back their tears, silently
Moving, across the skies, waiting
For the right moment, the one they
Hope never comes, the one when
The deluge of angst and fear, takes
Over common sense, drowning it
It is then, and only then, they sigh
And release, the pouring of the rain

The winds blew
With a howling din
And I, I braved them
Again, and again

Your name and mine, etched into trees
So many memories, swept with the breeze
We promised forever, but it just wouldn’t be
She came between us, and took you from me
No longer together, we grew distant, apart
Even though we remain, carved, in each other’s heart
