Whispered Refrains

***************
longing
goes On
our warm kisses
ignited a f i r e—
f l a m b o y a n t
swirl in breeze
concrete guilds
linger
sharp nail scuffs
&
sinister spikes
clinking cuffs
create
captivating cacophony
sharp sting
stings my wrist~
ritualistic resignation,
branded in b l o o d
My heart is
breaking deep
I cry—peace is so corny...
thoughts can't sleep
always remembering
your face
till we meet again—
let me sing
this lovely r e f r a i n
Fragments of my soul
are broken &
dispersed,
as fallen leaves
aching within
empty echoes
of
memories
you look at me
&
w h i s p e r
maybe a f l a s h b a c k!
coolness waned,
leaving cinders...
heart hits with hollow hunger
your touch stays on my s k i n
memories say no—
to fade into darkness
sing gentle r e f r a i n s
hoping you’ll listen
In quiet, I find your voice...
or is it
just an e c h o?
