You eclipsed yourself onto my heart, etched yourself amongst Sun and stars, a silhouette of burnished red and brown, a luminescent glow of you all around. Your pattern, your shape, my mind recalls, the beauty of your face, your expression, I’m in thrall, and I remember the smiles we shared, so many days and nights together, I am basking in the memory of your glow, ghostly light upon me thrown, alabaster shine upon us both. Hand in hand, you took me into your view, fingertips laced together, we shone, reflections of youth, and together we created an energy unseen by the lower land, eclipsing my heart as you tightly grasped my hand. What will happen, dear, when we must part? The irreconcilable moment when hand leaves hand, and hearts extract entwined valves from each other, for one must depart. I know this time will come and to it, I revolt, as I say, I wish I could stay in your presence, please don’t desert me, please remain. I cannot do this on my own, I imagine myself sadly call, I’ll gaze into your light, continue to further fall, fall further, and fall into the night. © 2020 Lauren M. Hancock. All rights reserved.
