Distant memories float through my mind.
Laying their gentle touches on my soul.
Reminding my heart where it has traveled.
Footprints like raindrops imitate the sounds of wind whispers.
Reddened locks and the softest features.
Curves of graceful illusion confronting the sunset of yesterdays.
Smiles kiss and eyes sparkle at the intersections of choice.
Life moves as we're living.
Timeless renditions of nostalgic music pace an endless dance of circular design.
Desire and dream collide.
Explosions of all that came before.
Enveloping folds of symbolic tapestries dangling over the flesh in enticing arrays.
Blindingly brilliant.
Open eyes stricken of their comprehension.
All else pales.
Sinking slowly beneath the waves of hope passionate cries falter.
Ne'er to be heard again.

Dreams become desires turned to dust.
Blown free of the landscape by the cold winds of disdain.
Memories fade.
The sun sets.

The longer night begins anew.
