~The Last~

The Last

Last hours fly away, last words linger

Last time you looked into my eyes

My last thoughts were a blunder

All I wanted to hear was ‘See You Soon’

But you only said ‘Goodbye’

Your last footfalls still echo in my ears

Our last laughter, sweet ardent kisses

Last moment of a rapturous embrace

Etched in the canvas of my heart

They last as deathless memoirs. . . .

Yet last evenings together ended

In sudden, wild storms

Trampling my secret wish:

“If only we lasted. . . .”

Adoring fingers lastly stroking my face

When you breathed last in my hair

Our worlds diffusing into a fuzzy backdrop

Four artlessly entwined arms

Your swift, soft whispers in my eager ear

Last step on the spiraling stairway

Where you finally halted to glance back

At my forlorn beckoning to say

Your unsaid farewell . . .

And climbing backward to kiss me awake



Yet one breathless twilight witnessed

Us, hiding our gory daggers

And audaciously parting ways

Guilty of a love, tragically murdered

Last hours flew by, but last words

Like your last breath on my neck

Lingered not. . . .
