in the afterlife of you

in the afterlife of you

A Poem by jacob erin-cilberto

in the afterlife of you


finessing the feelings
the underbelly of pain
assuaging the after-touch to the heart

rejoicing in reflection
the palpable nature of love
lips now untouched

still tingle with the thoughts
of knee buckling kisses
and mind bending closeness...

Sometimes, treasured memories--and fervent anticipation--are better than the reality.
Amazing bit of work!
