I heard your voice
fade into a lingering shadow
of a hoarse whisper
I felt your presence
melt into a stagnant puddle
of diluted memories
I watched you
slip into the recesses
of a pale obscurity
Wells have run dry
Trails have gone cold
Your teacup lay untouched
Your chair by the window rocked…
– empty –
And yet today,
when every sign of you
is ready to evaporate,
There awakens a sleeping candle
in a guarded corner of my heart
And I see your name
dancing in the flame
Teasing me
Nudging me
Telling me you aren’t
too far from my staccato thoughts
Telling me you are
wherever I choose you to be
I’m vacillating hopelessly between
an eclipse of the forgotten
and a penumbra of potent tomorrows…
