A Fool and Finality ( Posted For Michael Torres )
A Fool and Finality ( posted for Michael Torres )
I destroyed all your photographs today
All those memories
When you were so beautiful
All those secret pictures of you in skimpy clothes
I recall how you made my blood pound
And the sparkle in your eye
Was I place for me to drown
Forget myself
Loose the world
When there was only you
Those images went without tears
Fool I was to keep them
Cold and constricting became your beauty portrayed
For seven years I have wandered
In your memory
Letting go was so hard
I remember how much I loved you
The final echo I have lost
Burned away in coloured smoke
You where so exquisite then
And my heart a wave
Crashed on your skin
Forever now receding
And what of love
But memories
For a moment of boredom
You swapped me
And I clung a fool to the finality
The broken promises
We made in our surety
Sad still I am
For the testimony
For the place I found in your beauty
But at least today
I will not be reminded
At least in perpetuity
And at last
I am free
