The effect of you was all consuming <br />All day I would search my most charming words <br />To send to you in the longest letters <br />All night in dreams we'd explore each other <br />We would drop a veil of mist around us <br />Weaving in and out of the centuries, <br />Tossing ourselves together, undressing, <br />Playing, teasing, flirting, laughing, living, <br />And loving, over and over again <br />Love-making—can’t bear to be separate... <br />Such enormous pleasure being wanted: <br />Then the totem would wobble and topple <br /> <br />On what path and when did you roam? <br />Can you see your true love is here? <br />That can be all you'll ever need? <br />No need to look any further: <br />Journeys end in lovers meeting, <br />This I know and commit to you <br /> <br />Hereafter, to be without you, <br />Without mirth and without laughter: <br />What is to come is certainty <br />In delay there lies no comfort, <br />Then come kiss me, if only once: <br />Mine's a time that will not endure <br /> <br />Dearest, I feel certain I have gone mad <br />I feel I can't go through those times again <br />And this time, I know I can't recover <br />I hear voices, and I can't concentrate <br />So I am doing what seems best to do <br />I cannot fight any longer, you see <br />I can't write properly, I cannot read <br />What I want to say is I owe to you <br />Whatever happiness I had in life <br />And if anybody could have saved me <br />It would have been you, but everything's gone <br />From me but the certainty of nothing <br /> <br />© Copyright 2013 Cowboy Coleridge All rights reserved<br /><br />MacGregor Tagliaferro<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/certainty-of-nothing/
