Instapoem



The loss of your love has crippled me.
I remember those moonlit walks, those
tragically brilliantly lit evenings when the sky was
a tapestry of colours I did not know the names of, those
silent nights when all that could be heard
were our sighs. I miss you and so, every night
I try to forget myself, getting drunk
with a grim determination.


And writing instant poetry, seventeen lines
that describe my grief, three outlining the joy we never had, two
longing for what could have been; eleven the tragic
after effects and one reserved for the future. Your love
made me into a poet. And now, all I have is
characterless poems.
