After Words – Quadrille

Posted on August 9, 2022 by jazzytower

These conversations of ours

It feels like you are forever in my presence

moreso than when you walked the earth

So agreeable, and still with the jokes

Don’t you have somewhere else to be?

What type of grieving is this?

– these conversations of ours

I awake
inhaling your scent –
an empty pillow

TANGLED

Lost love
Entangled in dementia
Reflection
Regrets
Reliving
Love remained
Feeding the glimmer
of light within
Releasing the sadness
Giving the light life
