In the Plenitude of Space
It was a lifetime ago, but it seems as though
it was just last evening as the moon was full and bright
when you and I were young,
tormented teenagers, trying to find ourselves
and the meaning of life.
Like two particles dancing in space and timeless time,
we became
entangled in one another’s hearts, souls and minds.
It was way back when
chaos was king and emotions ran wild,
but love was all that mattered then
and I saw it for the very first time
in you glorious, splendid smile.
I admit that I was mesmerized
by the beauty you engendered
and those few short days we walked in shade
I surrendered...
everything
I had inside: my hopes, my thoughts, my dreams
you were my world, my pearl, my universe
my everything it seemed.
Until our quantum potential probability wave collapsed
in the plenitude of space,
our single particle split in two again
and you were gone without a trace.
And here I am reminiscing now, all these milli-seconds later
about how and why and what went wrong,
did you find some elevator?
To a higher plane or did you gain
some newfound, profound truth?
I dare you dear if you’re still near,
was it a newfound love or proof?
That love exists beyond our lips
and the smell of your long, blond hair.
And if you find these words in future times
remember,
I
still
care.
