In A Memory, We Danced

When it is I look up,
at the nightly-lit sky,
I just can't believe,
how the world just disappears;
and memories of you,
like rivers that pass
through canyons,
start flowing from within.

The Milky Way cluster
of red and blue stars,
in your eyes, like mirrors,
they dance from afar.
Teleporting me back,
to a time where we began,
that where universal colors,
can be seen, just like then.

We dance the night,
on a summer's midnight tune;
as the air, the breeze,
carries out your sweet perfume.
We glide and sway,
arms well locked into place.
For you charmingly are,
held with beauty, and thy grace.

Your whispering voice,
it sends a fragile song,
that soothes my ears.
As your smile, so radiant,
can light the morning sun,
or put a glow to the moon,
as it does,
each day of the year.

Inevitible Loss

Some things we lose,
are not always
things that we choose.
Some things burn and fade,
and sometimes slip
or slither away.
In your heart is where I lived,
and nothing did I trade or give;
but somehow choices made our paths;
being good for one,
as the other took the bad.
Then time itself
had spelled defeat,
by taking most
of what I truly need.
Sometimes love becomes
out of our reach...
out of our hands...
and out of our grab.
That's when the shadows,
they take their form,
a despair, for certain,
dissipating the warmth.
