Rewind

I smiled once I know,
a reminiscent memory of being at self,
I set out on a journey of love,
beyond those clear signs that forbid,
I spun the fabric of my love for you
now I’m lost in that transit
the colours have faded,
while I hung in my own sorrows,
like a linen set out to dry,
in the sun, 'you'
when it visited, it took away my colours,
the same I put in with so much desire,
now only fainted by your scorch,
I seek shelter in my mother's veil.
crying with my head on her shoulders,
telling her I love the very sun that scorches,
feeling safe in her arms,
she wipes my tears,
while I’m missing you,
as if transfixed in an unending moment,
where the eyes playback a scene of you walking away,
to wind back in the trauma,
that your absence brings.
