1030 hrs April 18th 2005

I found a stack of old photos

last night.

Those that survived

the psycho Korean.

She threw away all

my photo albums.

Browsing through,

memories flood,

I could cry

no more.

Those lost years,

where are they?

Those false hopes,

what are they?

I've been searching

for a passage

to meaning,

I've been looking

for a reason

for breathing.

The youth of my life,

been drained,

by the failures

of my many years.

We looked happy

together,

we were young.

We thought

we could kick ass,

knock them down.

Time it was,

and what a time

it was,

when endless mornings

pass like a gentle breeze,

and the warm sun

caressed my skin.

But the warmth

been long gone,

sacrificed

for unpredictable

and dangerous

rainstorms.

When the love is gone,

all that's left

are haunting memories

yearning regrets,

and a stack

of old photos.
