Be Gone , Do Not Look Me In the Eyes

Be gone.. Do not look me in the eyes We were not belongers But,Intruders who happened to trespass into each other's lives We were no Romeo and Juliette But, Pretenders Like moon rocks believing they are the ones who light up the infinite sky Be Gone.. Do not look me in the eyes Let not my lips go there to that young and serene night When we danced barefoot on the sand with arms against the sadness of lost time Your decision has been made The last petal of an untouched margarita withered in dust and rain And you never asked Why Be Gone.. Do not look me in the eyes Do not remember me Do not think of me Forget my foreign whisper like I 'll forget the wrinkle in your smile There was never a better place Nor will there be another time The empty pages have been filled Our unfinished book - Not anymore I am a nobody ~ an echo in your hourglass fading in the sand an empty barrel without the sweetened wine Do not miss me - Do not think of me - Do not need me Who am I I' m just your rehearsed dream . a metaphoric lie Be Gone Do not look me in the eyes and say goodbye I was never yours You were never mine. I was You were Were you ? Was I ? This poem isn't about me or my life, but inspired by someone else's life.

Beautiful, simply beautiful poem, Charmaine. The crescendo of undulating call of questioned commitment using dual response was brilliant. Very cutting-edge. I like it, I like it a lot. As we used to say back in the day, you go girl! I love reading your poems, I love hearing what another truth teller has to say. I'm all eyes and ears. Stay blessed. Much love and more love to you and yours.

"We were not belongers, but intruders who happened to trespass into each other's lives" sums up this powerful and sad poem, Charm. And yet, the lovely memories are clearly outlined....not going to be easy to forget and pretend it never happened! ~ paul

One of your best, ever. Period. Magnificent, powerful & from a core that few ever decide to caress & reflect upon. I need to read this out loud one day.

Sighs.... this is one of those writes that I wish I could've written. This is so different from your usual theme and style, Charma-- but it still has your own (I will borrow from what you said in mine) signature feel to it. I am faving this... this just really touched me and I just have a bunch of favorite lines here. Beautifully sad. btw, pls check out the blogs in a bit-- Tim was able to splice your audio of Pasionata from drake's show! Will be posting it :)!
