The rains left,
I left
you in North Carolina,
I recall my debutant days from three years ago,
the dew on the tall grass,
the primordial architecture which bloomed into a real empire,
nothing expired,
we are older,
better,
and never the same,
as soon as I return home I’ll set sail to The Neighboring Island,
from the absent dock just yet,
off my old home,
I will redo everything it takes
to recover you from the abandoned script,
I went too far,
literally, baby, too far,
and I went even further when it comes to moving away from you,
past the thriving all year long tropical zone,
I moved to the second island,
then I left with the rains,
but I heard they’ve returned,
so have I,
in North Carolina, where all life was born,
not forgetting the better try,
which I took in the legit way,
intended,
no timer,
we’re set free.
Poem #23 off my first poem collection titled ‘Feels like Roswell’. When I wrote this I was really missing good old times, it’s the same theme as in my older poem ‘Heavy Autumnal Blues’, but now I’m like: why live in your past forever when you can make your future ten times better.
