the haunting

what happened to those times?
they faded so fast . . .
bled crimson stains of youth on my skin
delicous and ruby red, they still remain
leaving my heart on fire
so dim
they unfailingly romance my soul with passion
haunt me with forgotten innocence
bittersweet, they linger quietly on my lips
warm and piercing
my eyes are clouded now - time made sure of that -
but for now,
I remember that painfully beautiful summer of sixteen.
