Gone

A moment... Only a moment, lost forever. Love I knew, like angels soaring on diaphanous wings through gently weeping clouds, then searing hate filled burning anger, my soul set afire with scorching embers and blue flames, the pain melting my body into puddles filled by dripping sorrow and blocks of icy resentment. This I felt, in that... moment, I died inside. The feeling of a thousand millipedes crawling over my skin made it tingle. My legs like pudding dangled from my numbed body as if they were made of dough. I had to sit before I fell. My strong heart beating for you stopped... for a moment. Like Kodachrome images tattooed in vivid color on bas-relief sculptures in my memory, I could taste the bitter sadness and disappointment in your eyes the moment... you left. 10/29/15
