Remember When
When memories glow like luminous fireflies
and sunsets become another red thread on the horizon
It is your pictures that lay on my heart's altar
scattered about
left as tokens of a time when love was you
and I was aflame shinning on the shadows of your needs
To what end do you haunt me so
Is it the desire to feel my soul float endlessly again
or to relive the passion of human endeavors that warmed a night
as we mingled with distant stars above us
when we laid upon the farthest hill covered in purple asters
to abandon the world with love's last breath turned sweet sighs
that drifted away as whispers following moonbeams
that gave form to our silhouettes merging with a black sky
where a star fell, crossing the horizon etching a trail
that burned an image in the eyes
leaving a sense of awe from a moment of perfection
