Ephemeral Infinity-Poem
June 18th, 2012
These infinite efforts to ban you from my thoughts keep falling short
Earth’s twisted serendipity landed me in your arms then ripped us apart
When we’re this far, my nerves get sharp and my soul gets cold
Memories of us, haunting my consciousness as these tears drown my face
Scooting my body over, making space that I know you’ll never fill
Reaching for shadows, hugging pillows, dreaming of your touch
Endlessly trapped in this darkness, longing for my Sunshine
Wishing on every star, dandelion, and eyelash for your warmth once more
The absence of your lips on mine is the only thought under this sky
Torturing myself with the constant recall of your effervescent laughter
This patch work quilt of my thoughts won’t hush or comfort
This twisted idea of an ephemeral infinity leaves me speechless again
Now that my pen dies and my eyes droop I regrettably bid farewell
As the sun rises, you’ll hear from me but tonight this must end
