'the light pierces the willow leaves' and 'our happiness'
the light pierces the willow leaves
and caresses my shattered spirit
into oblivion
the voices of angels are calling me
far and away -
a journey of enchantment and bliss
that i would embark upon
were it not
for my craving of your touch
our happiness
is now
a fading
yellow photograph
our home -
an island floating
aimlessly
in the skies
of yesterday
our love -
a butterfly
flying too close
to the sun
forever haunted
by the unspoken
goodbye
