Poem


A gentle tickle belies the sadness
as the corner of my eye swells and my vision blurs.
The beauty and the joy fading from my mind,
the "what was" and "what could be" 
but longing memories and lost dreams,
like fading shadows, of a wasted life,
and all that is left is the loneliness.

Lying alone lost in somber reverie,
the welling in my eye inches ever closer
to flooding past the impenetrable fortress
created by my, now, tightly shut lids,
the specters of my past slowly filling my unseeing eyes 
with visions of all of the special moments
and the caring caresses that we once shared.

My lashes quiver and moisten as I breathe in deeply.
The words of love we breathlessly whispered 
now only wisps of meaningless expiration
hidden among icy, broken emotional shards, 
a million pieces of sharp frozen feelings 
piercing so deeply inside of me, freezing what remains 
of you in the deep crevices of my broken heart. 

The tingle sharpens as the dam breaks,
one forlorn drop escaping slowly down my cheek,
meandering, lost, in the creases of my aged face.
I reach up to wipe it away, but can't 
for everything I am, everything that is me,
everything that we were and could ever be,
I've set adrift inside of that tiny, tickling, forsaken tear.
