Destinies in the Void

 

Here is a toast
to memories left waiting by the fire.
I have no desire
to retrieve them from the ashes.

​

There they will remain,
a dark stain to remind me
of tears I once shed,
so hopelessly in love with you.

​

Here is a moment
fixed forever in memory,

an illusion of tranquility,
while passion runs wildly inside me.

​

There is an image,
remembered but wholly shattered,
my youthful dreams
fated to destinies in the void.
