Memory in Poetry: No More Goodnights


No More Goodnights
 


Caught up
In a swirl of emotions
Feelings flowing like typhoon season

The timing
Catches me off guard
Even though I prepare for it
Each and every time

No tears
Pain underlying
As time seems to fly

My attitude
Lack of tolerance
Define this moment that is etched in forever
Time flies

Still I celebrate

The moments
Adventures and life
Of you
Of us

Forever you will remain
Engrained in this cell structure of mine

Remembering
The promise you made me keep
The standards and bars
That remain high

As I know you watch
Showering your smile from above
In a place where you still
Give me love

My mind
And heart’s eye
Still wonders why

Yet
I cherish
Cling tightly to
All the things that you

Left
Inspired
Installed

In my heart and mind

Still
I feel you gone
Long gone before your time

So I will never say

Goodnight
To the love of my life
