I Let You Go

    Hey Little Chibi standing on a hill with the sunset behind you and the wind ruffling your skirts, I let my mind wander through the fantasies of the future and the distant memories of lives once passed.  Sacred nights spent in blissful anticipation watching your glorious aura that illuminated the bakery whenever you saw my face, your eyes shining like newborn oysters on a prismatic beach, hearing your laugh and watching your face ignite with joy, I made you laugh, yes, I made you laugh.  Touch my body, caress my chest and let your hands follow the happy trail that gave me such intimate delight, but it’s gone now, all gone; you took it away from me and left me here all alone for all the summer which I should have been spending with someone who’s in love with me but can’t now that the smite of fear hath rendered thee immobile.  But I can’t dwell, I must move on and get over your anciently crafted face in the unbelievably green park of happy people that watched us holding hands in newfound love, short lived yet strong enough to last through lifetimes.  How could you let it happen, how could you find yourself unworthy of such health and happiness, what has happened in your past to trick yourself into thinking I never loved you?  What awful illusion has been painted over your eyes to see anger where there is passion and indifference where there is tremendous care?  I wished to lift you from the clutches of molten lust that melted our skin into one another’s and set you free yes like a bird I let you go and see the stars the Auroras the Milky Way, that silver brick road in the sky dazzling in the bounteous cavern of the universe.  Let it go, no please no, it couldn’t have been, you can satisfy me just have courage and patience and take it slow because I’m afraid too, yes, I’m so afraid but I still have the strength to face the crash of love’s thunder.  Now with a deep breath I blow out the candles that alighted your face on the divine platforms of holy sand and stormy hope I let you go and fly away fluttering and trusting the next eagle that cometh along swooping on the seas where your life goes I let it go yes I let the rain wash away your memory and the summer’s warmth to dry your tears I let you go like the beautifully flawed bird that you are I sing I weep I set you free to fly across the hills where your life goes yes I will I let you go…
