this sanctuary
still holds furnishings
left behind by one
another, left behind a bowl
and a coffee table
whenever I enter here,
after being gone for over a minute,
I have to restore some equilibrium
for these, left behind, this-and-thats
have already enpowered the photographs
of, yet, many others
and I hear, "where have you been?"
from countless voices
before I've even closed the door

and my desire for a new love interest,
to inspire some fresh love poems, suffers
quite the dispersal, before I've even opened
the balcony door and circled my arms
through the air
to reestablish some decorum
and rekindle more of a personal privacy

Melancholy ponderings thought evoking for the reader as all have some degree of this from somewhere.....
I just loved the sad beauty of this, it's like blues music.
Amazing how those memories stay so real and inflect into everything.

My, my, Spiros.

What a fantastic ode to what was vs what is. My kind of writing. Sad, with resignation.

. . . and the Raven said, %!~#&(&#!$!
