Kenya

My soul weeps 
I can no longer
bring you flowers
my eye seeks
the beauty I still love
My arms trimble 
to embrace you close
again
my ears hear the singing
of your voice echoing 
my name 
after the rain
tears stained pain
mixes with the air
leaving my heart
lamented and torn
bleeding joyful mememories
folded neatly between scattered
photographs
tired fingers begin to piece
frailed pieces of what left
my life ends and begins 
moments of confusion and triumph 
exultated memories beg me
to stay
times pleads for me to leave
your absence has numbed all
that was worth living
the aroma of clean ocean water
I knew is gone
summer doesn't matter
spring is never comes
fall turns colors
and 
winter's darkness has begun
you're the season who stole 
my sun
