I Still Love You

i grip my heart shaped rosary chanting at your vision’s smile pulled inward by the whirlpool, memory of your summer eyes now, mono-colored leaves are falling nights are growing cold and long madonna of my youthful faith you beckon me once again awakening at the oddest hour feeling a restless presence pacing footfalls down a lonely corridor reaching out to touch you my frantic hands clumsily flail thru your hologrammed soul are you still out there? have you like I, suffocated? in the vacuum of a comfortable life i’ll gather the courage i’ll climb your perilous tower sweep you from the dragon’s mouth hold you in my pulsing arms and never let you go Conroe, Texas ‘99
