We were entities
once,
The spheres in both
eyes carried the world in its core,
Our future looked
less of dynamites.
We walked through
rocked edges,
With our toes
pinpointed to crystals.
We have dug past
diamonds,
Exploited minerals,
To hold still the
future,
Carried our sun
past havoc,
Confusion, mayhems,
Yet remained
stationary as the wind blew along with the hail,
We reflected one
another past each other’s walls,
We were
humanitarians back then,
Possessed peace in
our sleep,
Brought nature to a
halt,
Reviewed to find a
purpose for our heavy breathing;
Now I walk into
retail,
Everything has
become of your nature.
The teddy bear owns
your eyes,
The cashiers carry
your smile,
Soundtrack
overflows with your joy,
The nest of roses
dwells in your fragrance,
I reminisce on
irreplaceable moments spent on back scrubs, and foam play,
The bottle of pain
killers reminds me of the midnight run to the filling station,
The pillow cases
held memories of all the tears I tumble-dried;
I live in
presentiments now,
How I thought there
was a missing Bishop on my board,
When it was
essentially her,
My Queen;
I have lost myself
in the eclipse of her true skies.
