Mine



for all those before me
think nothing of it
not a word mentioning your existence
fall from the tender tongue
i now entertain

the arms
that once held you
keep me in warmth and in mind
the same flesh that caressed your being
now my provocative embrace

and the laugh
which fell upon your ears
with words so witty, so clever
now a deafening echo
for you to recall in mourning
in a slightest passing of thought

and those eyes
that once gazed into your soul
now fixated upon mine
never blink or divert
back into your days of glory

that manhood
merely a memory
a pondering regret
atrophied in loss
negated to nothing.

to have your once beloved
intensifies my pleasure -
immeasureably
the sharing with none
of one:
mine
is to dwell in the senses
hoping never to fail.
