All I Knew...

My mundane ramblings or midnight musings

Be it my hooting mind either in agitation or merriment

All I knew, you were all that I needed

Walking across the meadow or be it sailing against the wind

Hands entwined, we did it with no destinations ahead

All I knew, you were my anchor

Fatigued by worldly burden

Numb with relentless social pursuit

All I knew, you were my torchbearer

Lost in the materialistic maze of the life

Faintly able to discern reality from pretence

All I knew, you were my cornerstone

All I know now, you aren’t here

Obscure symphony

Fatigued mind cowering

Under a colossal heap of wasted emotions

Rummaging through words, spoken and unspoken

She stood in the midst of a labyrinth

Holding on to a dampened pillow

She looks at the dark shadows looming over

Drifted into distant memories of promises

It was hard to accept the pale blur of reality

Caressing her broken spirits and unaware of her being

She didn’t realize when a peaceful awareness wrapped about her warmly

The eyes turned misty and the heart turned cold

Swaying in clouded dreams of absolutes past and wavering tomorrow

Morning came knocking, along with him

“Hi there, I have missed you,” he sighed, taking her hands

She saw his eyes

Deep with affection and soothing just as she had remembered…remembered?
