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 :)!
