Pearl

In the warm embrace of presence

Time darkens shade after shade

Unguarded, unnoticed, sure.

Space guards uncertain belongings,

As if nothing never evades,....fades.

Fond fingers of life

Caress the tresses of pain,

Creases of sleepless longing deepens

To be united with 

The last kiss of breath.

 Vivid absence fills the essence

Like some forgotten scent

That returns sometimes

In wakeful dreams.

Treasured visions

Fade into the gone moments of vividness.
