Emotional triggers, they come when least expected. A casual remark to somebody else on the bay brought about such a painful realization.


Always there...

I close my eyes to the world outside
And again I see him in my mind
Seventeen forever he will always be
But I somehow forget his voice

Memories flood my mind again
The tantrums, the laughs and the fun
His knack of getting things so right
But I can't remember his voice

Twenty years have now since passed
The pain still hurts but is quietly endured
He decided the time had come to leave
But I still can't forgive his choice

Have we found what eases pain, it shan’t remain;
yet hardly a memory lingers that might untether,
should even that be erased, p’raps a wound reopens-
it’s angry eye emboldens a spectrum of jumbled feelings:
tangible only in laconic holds we cannot hope to break.

Please pardon my muddled thoughts and graceless words for your latest posting must not be left unacknowledged.
