I HAVE NOT FORGOTTEN!
This piece doesn't reflect any real life situation. I merely composed it when a certain newspaper challenged poets to write about a broken love affair...which I hadn't experienced at that time. I guess my hands are too quick to write things on this topic..but the heart doesn't.
When I gaze into empty space
To see what isn't there,
I remember your hairdo's and
Your light blue dress
Which sparkles and brightens
The silhouette of the balcony
Like the petals of a rose flower.
How I remember those searching eyes of yours
That seemed to say 'Is it you?'
Oh, time has metamorphosed its memory
Into a spider striding in its web.
I remember that lips that said,
'Oh Cele, can't you forgive?';
That finger that , by hitting the computer
Keyboard wrote ' Thanks for your advice'.
It's true these things are
As vivid in my memory as my name,
But I can't forget the poisons
That were laid behind them.
You forget you were playing games with Me
---A dangerous game of hide and seek.
You never remembered you could be defeated,
And that I, though taciturn,
Knows the rules to his finger tips.
Thanks for doing what you did,
But I can't feel for you as
You have always wanted me.
My heart is somewhere else!
