Relentless Reminiscence [Resurrected]

Recollections rust with time;
A brief synopsis of the hours
That burned their mark on my proselyte morality
Might be due.

Fade out/fade into black and white screen.

An abrupt glance shared between volumes
Speaking profusely of ages lived bilious
By a master of the acrimonious…
Yet there we were,
In the midst of charm cut short by
Terse explanations of conjugal arrangements.

So be it.

But it had to be reiterated
Within settings bearing alarming similarities;
Arms open to the burgeoning of affinities
Finding sustenance in shared language
Powdered with delicious frivolities.
It could have ended on a cliffhanger.

Were it not common courtesy to save the best for last.

And so we did.
A stalwart nature paired with
Impetuous infatuation
Was all it really took.
Train wrecks always leave the best of us in awe.
Could dubbing your actions “audacious”
Be mistaken for admiration?

Then again, what couldn’t.
And that should’ve been the
Prior to last chapter,
Preceding querulous bickering
Heartily laced with the excuse of
Callow judgments:
A caustic novitiate of feminism
Gone horribly wrong.

But who likes a happy ending.

What started with words should have ended with them;
The longer the better.
Let us drown the hurt
In acerbic considerations:
Acidulous bolsters to the highest dudgeon.
Please, feed me with vocabulary,
Smother me with linguistic inadequacy,
You who claim to be the “CHILD of SILENCE”…

…

Why did you let that be me…
