Where Do I Begin? Again

eyes wide open
but sightless in thought
held captive by gravity
but weightless in pursuit
of a love lost
so suddenly rekindled
this flickering flame
where do i begin? again

does she still feel the same?
it's more intense
than when the first time
i came
eyes wide open
but sightless in ecstasy
deep water
i'm drowning
my lungs fill
my eyes roll back
in my head
dead to the world
resurrection in her bed
is this where it
ended last?
how do i avoid
the recurring past?
where do i begin? again

A truely enjoyable read, rekindling an old flame can be quite exciting and invogorating, at times it's best to live in the moment and not think about tomorrow. I wrote one called burned out, which is related alot to this except for the flame could never be again. If you get a free moment check it out.

Seize the moment, someone has said. If you have enough moments, you'll forget about the past and the future.....maybe. Love, daver
