The memories are echoes
trapped in a stillness
I can recall the names of
those who wove the web
but their faces are vague dreams
dancing across the tip of my tongue
sometimes I lie in dark places
unable to contain the voices
and images that remind me
fate is an entanglement
presented aesthetically
for a span of time illusion
was reality and we gazed
into eyes that exposed
the other’s reflection
love was foolish
but it wasn’t blind
we were aware soul mates
and ever afters
didn’t exist
but for a while
we pretended
as if they did

Great poem. Especially the imagery of looking into the eyes and seeing the reflection. Truly looking into the soul. Without that there is no true love, whether foolish or blind. Thanks for sharing
