Memory Fading

I felt like this for a while had to share

I still remember you

Like the sweet entrails of perfume

Dissipating into the air

 

The melting of sugar and cream 

spinning spiraling smattering 

my mind

I can still feel you

Like the amputee's lost arm

Invisibly there

An unseen entity in the hollow of my mind

The patter of your feet

The thumping of an impatient heart

Longing to feel again

The wound of an graceful endeavor 

documented 

by the scrawling on the wall

Archipelago, an isle 

where my heart floats

standing on the plateau 

mist kissing my dew bitten skin

I look into the distance 

Searching waiting

Flashlights flicker 

Giving me solace 

Warming my weak resolve

Then it happens

You are luminescence

lighting my eyes 

Sprinkling me with  star dust

I'm a child

Playing at your shores

again

We've met, your here, I'm here 

 

but 

   It's not nearly long enough

   Before I know whats happened

   You nod 

   Throw up two fingers

    And leave

We live on two different parallels 

Meeting for a whisper of a moment 

Drifting farther apart

but 

I still remember you

like a dying shadow 

As our screen fades to black

This kept my interest the whole way though. A very mature voice is present in this piece. Gripping.

[Dane Osborne]

This is a very mature work. I like the phrases and metaphors and I also like the easy flow of the poem. Well done.
