Love Poem: The Why of Goodbye

The Why of Goodbye

Hidden dreams silently fall

upon the window pane of love's antiquity

where I find your face,  drifting in an out of view

until I leave...with my delirium 

to rooms of what should have been

forsaken to a spiritual lethargic reality

leaving me alone...with abdicated pictures

hanging on bitter walls of loneliness


There was light once...warm and comfortable

where each room glowed in vibrant colors

filled with flowers you arranged

wearing Spring dresses that quietly fluttered around you

basking in your form, as you moved like a dancer

across floors of soft splayed light from dawn's awakening


Could that I ask

you remember the good times

not the broken glass flung on the walls of anger

from a mind drunk and deserted

by hubris...before our fall
