In a Time Ago

Walking past the place that once housed 
your life force, I feel the tingling feelings 
that my essence simmered in, in a time ago.
  
I can still hear the joyful sounds that 
resided in the place that once housed your life 
force, but now no sound takes residence, not like 
in a time ago.  

Once the light radiated from each window, 
that once housed your life force, and silhouettes 
of happy occasions danced across shades, but 
there is darkness, not like in a time ago.

I remember holding your hand on the porch
of that place that once housed your life force, 
and tasted kisses, but these are just memories, 
not like in a time ago.

I weep; your life force has departed that place 
were my essence simmered, of joyful sounds, 
silhouetted shades and where we feel in love, 
in a time ago.
