after love

Memorizing every contour
Of your face
Trying to remember
Every line,
Every inch of you.
Later
We would kiss
Again.
Till we fill each
Others warmth
Serenely aflame
Inside of me
Inside of you.
Creating an outburst
Of frenzy
And reality.

Heavy breathing,
Later
Heavy hearts.
You try and look for
Something inside me.
Try to apologize
Hoping to
Undo
What has been done.
I stare at nothingness
Aiming to figure out,
What is wrong and
What is right, in love.
Struggling to recover
From the fire
Caused by our bodies.
Like ashes
Carried
As the wind blows.
We become drifters,
Strangers.

And as I watch you leave,
I remember
The joy, we shared.
And wonder, does
Love
After experiencing
Happiness, unity and beauty
Always have to end
With regret, Pain and emptiness?
