Silk

Is it better to love,

lose

live in the past

life beginning

when you met her?

Or do I care that your hair

Is a lighter hue

or that her beauty and charm

my senses disarm

more completely than you?

And what does it matter

that when we embrace

face upon face

I feel silk,

not lace?

You have such power with your smoothly constructed poetry Paulo. It simply slips into ones mind in easy smooth consumption. This has such pathos and I relate. The ending of a relationship does not remove the feelings but the change in circumstances one does not control does. Still the feelings are there.

Beautifully written, I feel a sense of longing for a past love, if could be existing love but the love has changed and the longing is for the days gone by.
