“Veronica”
Whisper her name & let the word
Linger within the anthem of
A whistling, sultry summer breeze.
Enunciate the word again
& let each syllable flow through
My weary bones & longing heart.
The sound fosters a melody
So sweet and proud; I’m overcome
By gentle dreams & gallant goals.
“Veronica”
Alas, every sound & every word,
& every person fades away
Like the dying of a rainbow.
Echos disperse & colors melt;
Promises of forever are
Only meant to tantalize.
Despite it all, I will grapple
With nebulae of space & time,
Seeking a chance to make things right,
And rekindle my lifeless love,
“Veronica”
