When Love Goes

The memories find companionship
   with the dreams.
Hopes mingle with and become friends
   with disappointments.
Tomorrow becomes yesterday
   faster than lightning.
Empty arms become comfortable
   with the space unfilled.
Lips once parted in anticipation
   close in acceptance.
The moon no longer smiles but is merely
  an astronomical event.
Stars that once danced in eyes that saw forever
   return to the heavens.
The days go on without beginning or end
   and time becomes day after day.
Life becomes a culmination of habit
   and acknowledgment.
A heart that raced with another in perfect unison
   now beats from habit.
And all that is left are the settling dregs
   of a once in a lifetime love.

Thank you Spiros. I collect wind chimes and love them. They somehow seem to talk.

Word Weaver - You've woven a defining poetic portrayal of what we settle for and what's left after love has gone. It's written with the passion of the poet's pen as is to be remembered. Nicely crafted work here WW. Namyh
