Memories, Keep Screaming Back...

THIS MORNING, I SPOTTED A PAINTING  
IN A WINDOW.

IT CAUGHT MY ATTENTION
BECAUSE, OF THE SUBJECT IN IT SO,

AS I LOOKED AT IT MORE INTENTLY
MY MIND DRIFTED BACK IN TIME...


TO A PLACE THAT WAS AWE-INSPIRING
IN IT’S BEAUTY
AND MADE EVEN MORE SO BECAUSE
IT WAS WHERE YOU  FIRST KISSED ME SO SWEETLY.

YOU TOLD ME TO, "HOLD YOU CLOSE"
NEVER LET YOU GO
I TOLD YOU I’M FILLED WITH LOVE
FOR YOU HEAD TO TOE.

AS I START TO RETURN TO REALITY,  
I WONDER, WERE YOU JUST MY FANTASY?

THEN THE CELL PHONE INTERRUPTS MY THOUGHTS...

“HELLO?”
IT’S YOU ON THE OTHER END...
MY HEART SKIPS A BEAT

YOU ASK ME,
“ IS THERE A PLACE
THAT WE COULD MEET?”

QUICKLY I REPLY TO THE REQUEST,
“HOW ‘BOUT OUR FAVORITE LOVE-NEST?”

SHE RESPONDED WITH A YES..!!

LATER ON, I’M ALL DECKED OUT
IN SEMI-FORMAL ATTIRE
SHE APPEARS LIKE A VISION,
I START TO HEAT UP WITH DESIRE

THIS LADY IS SO BEAUTIFUL
FROM THE INSIDE OUT
I THANK MY LORD FOR THIS WOMAN
LUCKY I AM THAT’S NO DOUBT...

WHEN SHE IS  WITHIN INCHES
OF MY GRASP
I GO TO EMBRACE HER BUT,
AIR IS ALL THAT I CLASP...

A SIREN'S SHRIEKING
WAKE ME OUT OF MY DREAM-STATE
ON THE BED I CRY BECAUSE,
NOW, I RECALL WHERE WENT MY SOUL'S MATE

SHE WENT AWAY SOME TIME AGO...

LEFT ME BECAUSE IT WAS HER
TURN TO GO.

I REMEMBER HER LAST WORDS
BEFORE HER JOURNEY ABOVE

"DON’T CRY FOR ME, LIVE HAPPILY, AND ALWAYS KNOW
THAT IN THIS LIFE...

IT WAS YOU THAT I LOVED...!"
