Forget About Her
forget about her eyes
her eyes of burning coals
a light     a longing
a flicker of uncertainty
ashes
all ashes once again

forget about her hair
her hair of earth and sea
a veil     a breeze
a brief brief resting place
gone
silken ashes evermore

forget about her lips
her lips so sweetly parted
a breath     a quivering
a whisper of another lifetime
blown away
kisses in the wind

forget about her arms
her arms deep as oceans
they never opened
they never held you
all those nights you tossed
and rocked in them
were dreams
and rememberings of dreams
