Lost Love Lingers

~POETRY AFTER DARK~

Somehow
When in darkness
Absent stars still linger in
The landscapes of
Secluded minds
While whispers echo
With sweetest tales
Of minutes shared in
Heated rooms
And fingerprints
Are left to claim
Uncharted land on
Cooling skin
There still remains
Although long gone
A shimmer of past
Ecstasy
And lovers’ breath
Is precious air
Filling blue lungs
Under dead eyes
That draw the shape
Of fading smiles
