What Once Was There
All she could do was
remember.
A sour-sweet taste of frozen apples
and berries. Dreams of
swimming with sharks and
mermaids.
Mating dances that
lasted all night.
She wept then, for memories
gone by. For smiles no longer
shared and for the sorrow that
rendered her helpless
to the ebb of
change.

Celebration
The minute they got in,
the world seemed to fade
and focus on that single moment.
Mouths melded in an
eternal kiss, shivers engulfing them
both as the first spark
of desire ignited
a heat that took them twenty-two months
to hold back.
Their skin seemed to sizzle
and crackle with that
first flame.
A hot-white flash of skin,
heated words burned
them in the moment.
The anticipation built,
as they neared the final union.
A quick scrape of skin to skin,
a brilliant flash of light beneath their eyelids.
The world between them exploded in
a blinding flash of red sparkles and silvery streaks.
It was a majestic explosion,
a display of ecstasy.
They stilled from the frantic pace,
a blissful silence overtaking them,
this was the moment they had
waited for, consuming them.
It was time.

When Nothing Else Works
What would it take for you
to set us free?
Hateful words exchanged
in front of a silent jury?
Acid-rough glimpses of faded
memories, relived thru
another’s arms?
Would you like one final
moment in the sun,
a desperate attempt to
bring back the weather-beaten
past?
If goodbye’s did not work,
nor truths scathingly
thrown at you,
then what will make you
loosen the reins of the past?
Will you wait until we give up,
awaiting us to part, waiting
from the edges of the crowd?
Perhaps all it takes is a
pocketful of coins sent your way.
Returning lost memories,
until it reaches your waiting
hands, for that
Final Farewell.
