Have you ever physically traced the footsteps back to your Heaven?
I have wandered about the World, but find my Heaven in one particular part of the World.
There are times I take excursions to places in the black of night to be in the vicinity of the silent memoirs…
Often I exercise a restraint to heel, but yearning is always burning and never subsides…
Sometimes a walk can curb this appetite… but when I am utterly broken… I DRIVE.
My desire is to be within the stretch of my blurry eyes focus…
Beyond the scope of audible utterances…
Down wind of the sent of my damnation…
Not to torture myself…
Not to be a presence…
Not to be engaged or discovered…
Not to smother…
Not to massage any manipulative action…
I just think I do this, because two of the three the people in my life I love the most without waiver are deceased…
All I get is to be as close to them as I can be...
Sitting in my car at a cemetery.
Contrary to what you think...
It's where my heart beats loudest and feels rooted.
It is from them I have learned that I cannot have them in my life…
I cannot show up on their doorstep and greet them with a hug and a kiss….
I cannot just pickup the phone and call them to say I love you.
And if I could… I assure you that they would not hesitate for one more embrace.
So you should understand…
I would kiss the mouth right off ones face, but I can’t.
So I am damned…
I realize that limbo is between the plaines of Heaven and Earth…
And though you see me looking much alive… I’m a Ghost.
So, I walk back to where we use to stand, lay, kiss, dream, talk, laugh, and breathe.
I tender all that was and regret all that cannot be.
I am in love with the sweet palatable taste of your memory…
And that in itself is where I tend to be…
What you think you see… Is me fearing not to believe.
Oh, what I would give… to have all three…
But two are deceased…
And the other shall have none of me.
