Shadow of a memmory

To Leondus Gussenhoven (Grammy)

You walk on my heart

The moon is out

Traces of your finger drying my tears

Warms me in the cold nights

While you make love in the cloud

My eyes dream of the moon

Hoping to see you once more

Do you remember the Last Night!

Pictures:Vladimir Kush

Under the Persian sky

The moon

Me

You

Tears

My tears

You promised
"I'll meet you at the moon!"

you said, holding back tears
"Every night

 I’ll be looking at the same moon

 we won’t be far after all!”

 
Through the night I walk

Grabbing a memory

staring at the moon

To see you again

Do you know 
how I awaited the monthly gifts
the ones you sent
that came from heart
that smelled like you

 
It was never the things 
it was always the smell
your smell
your perfume
I wrapped in my quiet
with the promise of a hope nearby
that-helped me breath color
under the thorns

And then they stopped 
But,not the moon
every night
the shadow of your memory shines

While you quietly sleep on the cloud
The four year old eyes

of a grown woman

waits for the moon 

Remembering our final night together

You wiping my tears

the last night
 when my heart laughed

When my heart died!

You, among the clouds
me on the gorund
eyes fixed on the moon
my heart tells the story
of gratitude
angeles and tears
tears and possibility

Now you are eternal
I declare
you forever live
in the lines on my soul

and you know frankly
I don't need the moon to feel you near...
