Dreamer of a Misplaced Love


For this dreamer
came a startling realization    
that the memory of your love  
will remain forever…
just beyond my lips

like a blind man
searching for that misplaced color        
that plays hide and seek in the darkness  
while crying out for redemption from the past        

as the scent of loneliness
fills the room…
…my mind
….my heart
while the taste of your love      
is still glued to the  pages of my heart

I mourn the death of our love                              
and I watch….
as only a voyeur can
at your conquest of a new lover    
while you paint erotic  shadows on the bedroom wall
                                
and I listen to the pulsating
rhythmic throb of unrestrained passion    
and the lusty invitation of sex…..
that once was mine  
              
as the weight of my mindless neglect
rages within my head                                                              
and the voice of vengeance screams
with an intense echoing hoarseness

……….you were such a fool…

and a searing isolation floods my soul  
…. a  chill runs down my back
I turn to hide my tears

and somewhere in the uncertainty of time
comes the reality and regret of a lifetime  
that you are now

just one of my memories
