Memories and Broken Pieces of You

(His Version of Pieces and Memories of You) A smile one so beautiful that I asked myself, could she be real? As I sat there looking at your picture you would never believe me when I say that in that moment I again begin to feel I had given up on love and the trueness of it many years ago, I figured that it just wasn’t meant for someone like me I had accepted this within my soul But your smile it made me feel something I never had before, and I didn’t know what I was doing or why, my heart only knew that it was sure A smile that latched onto my heart through the grains of a photograph, I could just envision the laughter within, the voice resonating your sighs, your gasps Eyes such a beautiful shade of gray, almost blue green with little gold specks inside, oh you will never know how much I loved looking into your eyes To look into the depths of them and see into your once shattered soul, and know that you were once whole again and asking me to take control Those eyes you may not know this but my love looking into them I would have given you anything, you never realized how much they rendered me still and just how much they made me believe Eyes that I wanted to wake up to and kiss their lids so softly every day, just a single, sweet touch before you awoke so my heart could express the love I wanted so much to convey Arms so dainty, the arms of a lady, so delicate, so true, only longing for someone to wrap them around to be one with another, no longer two Arms that were so tired of searching, so weary of grasping for a love to stay, only wanting for someone’s arms to take them in and protect them for the rest of their days Arms that may look weak but deep down they’re strong, after holding up the weight of the pain they have endured for oh so long Sweet, luscious pink lips, the color of the most beautiful pink rose, pouting so seductively and not even realizing I suppose Lips that I yearned to taste, just to find out if they were as sweet as they appeared, and once my lips crashed into yours, oh the way my heart was seared Lips that would haunt me for the rest of my life, knowing that if I never was to taste them again that my heart would surely die Lips that caressed me with their soft subtlety, placing kisses on my skin that I wished to play on repeat Lips that whispered into my ear, the only words I could ever wish to hear, I love you being whispered so softly, so subtle, so clear Lips that I remember watching them say to me goodbye, but I couldn’t take the reality of the moment it’s almost as though someone stopped time Hands so beautiful, so demure, so tiny enclosed in my own, clasping onto them just tightly enough to assure they had found their home Hands filled with so much passion but in a sweet and delicate way, the way in which only a woman can touch and make a man feel this way Hands that are so much stronger then they may appear, knowing they have the capability to crush my heart but at the same time can so softly diminish a tear Hands that I miss feeling pressed up against my heart, and knowing that my heart was speaking in those moments transferring to you the feelings you brought Beautiful, tan legs that literally ran for miles, and the way that you moved as you walked around, oh my love, I couldn’t not smile A voice so melodic, so harmonious, so sweet in its reverie, it took me under its spell so much so that I was unable to speak A voice that I still hear whispering into my ear longing for my touch in the night, and wanting more than anything to open my eyes and be transported back to that time A mind so broken, so tortured, so emotionally abused, unable to see the wonders it held within the love, the hope, the truth A heart so lost searching so long for its other half, and in the end finding it and praying with everything you have that it would last A goodbye so bittersweet, so hopeless, so unreal, realizing that the love you found there within another you’ll no longer feel Tears so many falling, cascading like an avalanche down her cheeks, and standing there immobilized wanting more than anything to make them retreat A fantasy that I lived in surrounded only by you and your precious love, realizing this wasn’t my reality, that sadly it never truly was A reality so dark, so cold, so bitterly unfair, showing me a glimpse of heaven and taking it away like it was never even there.

I enjoy the depth, the yearning, the "having known ... without ever having known ". Ahhh the tortured soul of a poet...known perhaps only by another. Darrell
