Love With Nowhere To Go

Charles Edward York 1966 (Saigon, Vietnam)



Love With Nowhere To Go

Grief is love with no where to go
Coming face to face all of a sudden
The irrefutable evidence
Feelings, moments
And memories
Suddenly vanish in form
No longer manifested
Ashes, smoke and dust
Disappear and take their leave
And we are what remains.

Your name bears a face no more
Tears pour in place of laughter
Times shared and apart
Ache in your absence
Embraces barely echo you
Still I remain stubborn
Not holding onto you
But what the cold can’t deny
Your spirit burning
A blazing fire of you in my heart!
