You were, as I want to remember
The swagger in your stance
A cocky smile lightly hinted in
the line of your lips
Evident charm of your sorcerer's
draw apparent
Smoke and mirrors of mysterious
appeal
Opiate for one a willing
participant
How sweet the enveloping haze
Recollections of your dulcet voice
Words of ambiguity and guile -
poetry
Lo your breath intoxicating choice
Rent superior sagacity a useless
mace
No intimation of the cruelty late
clear
Where were the signs?
A madness concealed in feigned
fear
Arrogance facetiously named
humility
I unwitting, willing to suppose
So smug in my experience
Misguided, believed it soaring
flight and rose
Ignored the plunging altitude
Swiftly came the depths impacted
Shock numbed, broken soul refused
to deem
How deep the cut nor the scars
exacted
Without a cause to name
Wailing of your abandonment
While scattering my essence
Promoting your misunderstood
intent
Never guessing at its nakedness
Prevails yet a lingering ember
A faint whispered yearning
I cannot help but remember
Here devotion and ache are ever
new
Now the fog rolls athwart my eyes
The flood unleashed. Sorrow's
torrents quake my being
Sadness roils my soul as anger
cries
With nowhere for the run off.
