This melancholic haunting
Soft and tender
The gentle erasure of tracks
From sand dunes of desire
Grains, wind blown
Time sifted
Desire
Dust scattered remnants
In an empty space
Memories, fanned by your breath
Zephyr of moist warm air
Across soul’s wistfulness
Your hand
A memory I could not hold
Time wearied, fades
Lost to more insistent hands
Forgive my infidelity
Memories grow weary too
This nostalgic note
Pungent memories
The kiss that never was
The kiss I wanted
Yet never gave
Filled with yearning and regret … beautiful
