All this was a long time ago –

The feelings. Muted. That rummaged through my head, The unspoken curls of fire, that brushed against my being.

The Pulse that sharpened, the inch of livelihood that swayed, in ways I did not seem to know, so frayed.

Yet, all this was a long time ago…

The tenacious passage of time, until the road that bent, peeked, yet seemed dark to go.

To the hands of the eyes, and the depth of despair, down my spine in a millisecond, just seconds ago,

Yet. All this was a long time ago…

Eyes crowded like oceans, and the burn of the skin delved into the place where the heart hammered against the shores, pushing and healing along the misty reigns.

With the cynical passage of time, we hurled these moments into the foggy peak of invisible mountains, with a soul that strived to be conscious and free.

In a demisecond, we felt, unfelt, but this…Was all a long time ago.
