Remembrance (2011)

a distant star glimmers

the coldness of the night

makes me shiver

i hear you whisper

i shudder at the thought

you live in my heart

you never left

that's why i still hear you

and feel your love as

cold air embraces me

every time i lay awake 

anxious at uncertainties

you rush to ease my mind

if only you could  

wipe away my tears

memories of rainbows and

of echoing laughter

unfulfilled dreams and 
promises lie in their wake

bittersweet remembrance of past
