3am
The roaring sound of thunder.
Dipping droplets of rain.
Another night awake again.
Is there no one I can trust? There is only looking forward now.
The caverns.
The oasis.
The sinkhole.
Again and again the scenes revisit me.
Tormenting me. Seducing me, to go under….
and never come out.
The real world is unreal
The only reality left
Is in my dreams
We are both on the dance floor
In the discotheque
Neon lights – heart pounding beats
Your whiskey breath – your wild smile
Your board shoulders – your big hands
We are dancing to bachata
A close contact dance – swaying slowly
Kiss. Fumez. C’est la vie.
Tears. Thunder. Rain.
Waves. Cascading. Down.
A swirling whirlpool
Takes me down again
Into that familiar place
It’s like dying all over again.
3am
The time we left the club, and kissed at the pier.
That night and many nights after
My memories became frozen
At that very same spot
Unable to move
Past the memory
Of where you left
You never said good bye
Or offered those closures
To the roads you opened
It is happening again and again
Like a loop that replays itself
Like a movie reel that is set on repeat
Like a song that only has a chorus
Suspended in time and space
We were lovers in that space
For the rest of eternity
I may never forget that
And before I do
I will immortalise that love
With a piece of art
Dedicated to you and only you
My Mr Mysterious.
Good bye.
I have to move on now to slay the demons.
