Left with a kaleidoscope of broken smiles and shattered dreams.

Our lives
Dark and hidden,


An alchemy of pain:

Our love
Private and mysterious—

A secret that
Cannot be named.


You,

The morning star rising—
A cloud across the Moon;

A bright star
On my horizon,

Visible
Even at noon.


Everything about you,
Unexpected

As a sudden
Downpour of rain;

I'm tattered
With gaps of your absence...

Distraught
Til I see you again.

@creatr
