Disturbed and Twisted Stranger

Your unique colors once flashed light’s perfection inside my 
dark and with ecstatic presence you erased all the gray stains in
my heart.  In our arms, through our words and shared actions, 
our love merged and returned fulfilling, stirred and deserved 
barrier-free years.

Now, you have spent months tinted as a disturbed and twisted
stranger.  Nowhere did we swerve, no defining change occurred
yet you blurred.  You will not converse or explain, but sadden 
me by abandoning me to nurse this coarse pain you randomly 
construed to be my forced companion.  

Ignoring me and my kiss, my pleas fall infirm like harm-rinsed 
germs that your heart brings on without remorse or rain clouds 
aching for the storms. My amassed and treasured love depths 
have collapsed beyond my grasp. Numbly, I hear the echo effects 
of our shared dreams retreating steps.
