Love Poem: What Comes After

What Comes After



Melancholy moments of finality,
ash memories 
Passion's last embers extinguished
No thought of what comes next ...
what has just left
eclipses every drenched emotion

Does a tear to a smile transformation truly exist?
Any childhood belief
would serve a needful adult purpose,
when desiring 
to be filled up again
on the inside

Whatever comes after
the torrential heartaching storm,
any calm 
will be blessed relief

And as the dark clouds of doubt
disappear into the ether,
the light of an uncertain future
guide your thoughts with searching hope
Soothing the ebbing pain
with an unexpected fetal wave
of womb comforting
Long forgotten days of new birth
joyous crying
