gems of intrigue
pieces of me,
and a case of you,
few faded photographs,
a tear-filled jar,
rolls of laughter,
and heart-wrenchingly gorgeous sacred words from two souls
are all that is left.
and happy memories,
though slightly fogged
with a touch of sadness and age,
how easily they flood back when i allow them.
it is quite intriguing,
this story of us.
a sort of feverish passion
had lurked its way around us
and took us captives
of each other.
at first it was a spark
then a glowing ember
which had then progressed into a ball of beautiful fire.
never did i imagine,
or could have imagined,
of such sphere we had been thrown into-
you brought out the best and the worst in me.
oh how i loved your love
and loved you!
and how we truly adored each other.
basking in one another's admiration,
we embraced one another at a such level.
a level that dazzled us with
its uniquely rapturous beauty.
seconds came and went,
an hour then two.
only will we know all that's been
said, done, given, taken, rejoiced, and resented,
and some of what has been put away.
through it all,
happy, funny, liberating, new,
sad, angry, bad, and confusing times,
i have loved and hated
you, me, and everyone else
then learned to love
you, me, and everyone else
more and differently than before.
i said my thanks,
made a new friend,
and saw the dimming ember with a smile.
today i was walking down the road
when i saw a set of deep beautiful whimsical eyes
wink at me as he walked by . . .
