Motion

The years have passed and what a trip
- without you - always missing - passing
Time flowing like waves in the sea of you
- i barely survived - long pauses - silence
Running around the world to only see your images
From the streets of Rome, to the bells of Nazareth,
Among the prayers and sounds of Kathmandu, and
Beyond the light to the darkness of Iceland --
All picturesque like the pieces of my memories
Of you and only you dearest
Following my heart to every corner
Because I know it is you spirit chaser.  And of love?
Rituals connect us to the myserious - place called Home -
Of you - from the sacrificial chickens to cleanse of our sins,
to the prayers of Jerusalem and the chanting of the Buddhist
Monks - yearly my spirit connects to you.
And of Home? A picture name echo in the wind.
I shall - add - another - ritual -
I am like your vodoo doll: your love sticking needles - and -
At every point I become lost in the endlessness of this
Galaxy of your Home.  Year after year of piling
Things to do - for you - countless as the stars
In the mosque they too shall chant your name for grace
For love, for success and for me to always love you.
And if the memory dies with the love? The witch doctors
spell against a curs'd love unwinding intertwined branches
What shall you say? What shall you do?
To remind me?
