What We Had.

A moment in time.
It is all it takes to create
a closure
to something that lasted
for so very long.
But a moment in time
to abdicate, fold
away with appropriate
phrases, tongue-in-
cheek-style,
thrown down with
careless abrasive
short quick goodbyes,
And why is it not seen
that a rare, treasured affair
can at once change
become cracked, worn-out,
a broken has-been
in which two tired souls
are now ready for war.
In but a moment,
tell me what we had before.

that's life with its enigmatic best ....though they say its about moving on ...I think its about being glued on ....to values , things and people who matter and hearts that know how to beat in each other's echoes ...

the poem is flowing so naturally, words woven into words, a real piece of beauty

the whole poem is so sad...and ends so tragically beautiful with that searing last line....

Those memories will live on, even when we're dead and gone! those vibrant passions' of love unfold when we recant ,our stories told
