For the least time I held your stare Traveling the distant nowhere In the outer recesses of space Brief moments of gaiety Are but overused Memories to be replayed Silenced the night whose Stillness can be heard Loud and clear.
For the last time I embrace the shadows Hovering about you Memorizing each trace Of darkness Each line and each Hallow vision Savoring the few minutes Of private contact With your negative image
For the last time, I thought I came so very close To you Advancing in inches And inches so near Conquering the barriers Of fear And demolishing the Brick walls of time Command now this life That was lived In the briefest of happiness
For the first time Before the dust Shall blot out All memories of today Let the past give way And the future stay If only to rectify mistakes And restore your good name
But life goes on cruelly And like a theater’s curtains Must fall On us all
So for the last time I said my goodbyes Remembering your stare Out of nowhere Remembering your shadows And your pain Never have I felt Your presence more strongly As I kissed your shadows to rest For the very last time……
