Hiroshima

I was caught off guard by the everlasting effect of your smile. In all honesty I thought I was prepared for the well placed explosion that took place in my heart. In actuality, I was not. Absent minded to the total embodiment that was you. The coming of your lips, The taste of your stare. I did not know the effect your voice would have on me. There wasn't a prayer that could have prepared me for you. There was nothing left of what my heart use to be. The occurrence of everything obliterated; Emptied. The horizon filled by your silhouette; my hands lost in the light cast by the radiance of your smile. I was reduced to nothingness in the blink of an eye by a single look cast from The stare of your eye. The total sound of nothingness filled my heart with a peaceful hush after the destruction you've caused with just a single look.

Wow! I love this poem, Kewayne. The immersion of self into the soul essence of someone else ... a sub-atomic molecular bond that only occurs thru disintegration and recombination is simply beautifully expressed by your talented pen. So glad I stumbled unto your path of poetry. You write w/wit, keen insight and down-to-earth soul speak. Powerful poem and title. Love and peace. Freddie/Romantic Warrior
