~~ LETTING GO ~~

Woven in the tapestry of our life,

something's placed before us often without reasons.

Just as winds breathe, blowing in four directions,

currents passing through like ever changing seasons.

~*~

Within our heart is a dwelling place,

memories are stored like a secretly-kept treasure.

Notations for repeating patterns of musical beats,

marked in sequence, intervals of love we measure.

~*~

Then came words spoken that still linger,

and I surmise the time has come for letting go.

How does one make it past another day without you,

with clocks easing away every hour increasingly slow.

~*~

Mesmerizing dreams capture longings we carry,

setting out on a journey no matter when or where.

I wonder if you understood how you mirrored my soul,

In that one moment of wonderful shared in common care.

~*~

Nothing will ever be the same again,

surrendered all of my emotions with your touch.

Now I am merely looking for a soft place to fall,

somehow you believed I came to expect too much.

~*~

My skin bare with no covering left me,

like the ever-interlacing of fine silk threads.

Wrapped in satin sheets, stained with fallen tears,

that once lay like royalty across the bed it spreads.

~*~

Then came words spoken that still linger,

and I surmise the time has come for letting go.

How does one make it past another day without you,

with clocks easing away every hour increasingly slow.
