Pictures In My Mind ~ Memories Of Another Time

 

 

I caught a glimpse of you…when you didn’t know I was looking

trying to re-discover what I’d forgotten about you…

About us...

Why I’d once loved you -in that other time

You were standing naked in front of the mirror

your auburn hair glistening on your wet mortal body

You’d just stepped out of your morning shower

humming the customary tune you do so well

I stood quietly in the hall…

watching you shave your golden, red beard while you hummed...

as you tapped the rhythm with your foot

It was intoxicating…

observing your routine without you knowing I was there

I’d watched your morning ritual many times

You…always aware when I was watching

In the past…in that other time

Somehow...

watching you with my heart, more than with my eyes

made me melancholy missing those feelings

 I’d once felt for you…for us

Feelings that were once so deep within my heart

for awhile, back then - in the days of us

Did we ever really love one another?

Was it kismet - was it fate?

The question sits on unspoken lips

I sighed -missing us - missing you

When our melody began

you sang the notes to my heart so well…so tender, so real

We soared on the music, our mouths relishing the kiss

in our moments - in our past

For a time we were us -

you and me -  me and you

We traced our love with thirsty lips - hungry bodies

I stood there looking at you for quite some time

pausing at the door before I left

Knowing…I might never open that door again

I turned back once more, before turning to go

making sure to remember just why I was leaving

But now…every time I see a man shaving…

I find myself sadly thinking of you

Goodbye my love

Now there is a big empty space...a void of nothingness

Devoid of you

In between moments I try to forget...

The wisps of floating memories
