I split the atoms <br />apart <br /> <br />(looking for the heart of the matter) <br /> <br />glued molecules together <br /> <br />to a precise piece of <br />Space and Time <br /> <br />(and hoped to God that God <br />didn’t mind) . <br /> <br />I sifted through <br />Eternity and Memory <br /> <br />and tried to create <br />just what it was <br /> <br />like to be <br /> <br />kissed by you <br /> <br />but I found I couldn’t <br /> <br />re - create <br /> <br />the tiniest touch <br /> <br />only emptiness and chaos <br /> <br />swam into view <br /> <br />and I remembered <br />that I had lost you <br /> <br />in a summer somewhere <br />beyond the power of love.<br /><br />Dónall Dempsey<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/memory-fails-me/
