Memory's Magic Spell
You recall his every feature:
his unique laugh
and sexy smile:
his exuberance, magnified by his zest for life.
Sifting the ashes of love and grief,
smiles and tears mingle with your pain:
and yet, time fails to subdue Death's impact.
You feared the ugliness of Death:
when you looked upon his face,
and said goodbye with a kiss.
Your heart, tethered to the past,
falls prey to memory's magic spell:
as selective thoughts, console your soul.
And forever feelings surface;
carried by an emotional tide
that causes you to stumble for support:
reflecting on the times you've shared.
Holding hands, once kindled longings
that fueled passion's flame:
and made life worth living.
Yet, now, it's time to shed one final tear;
and let it water your withered heart:
allowing love to bloom within it, once again.
