Far Away
In another reality
I knew you
Time was running out and
the hourglass slowly emptied
You left for a distant shore
Stolen moments that
we shared
have been delicately placed
in the jeweled box
that
is
memory
Thrilling passions
have become piles of ash
As for the future
I don't ask the impossible
Just light one candle
and be able to watch its glow
as it melts - ever so slowly
