The smile
Did not return
No ones fault
The candle burns
Deeper places
We knew as true
Love it faltered
For me and you.
The arch of wisdom
Like castle walls
Strong and sturdy
Stoically returns
Its pointed face
Of granite blocks
Searches not
For what it lost.
A wisping quiet
Upon fortress high
Surveys its tears
From drying eye
A distant view
Half forgotten phrase
Reminds us both
We loved in haste.
