that
took me years
to
piece together
even
then I still
didn’t
understand him
he
was a chameleon
in
bright colors that
would
sometimes
burn my eyes
so I
let him go
into
sunsets
leaving
behind
golden
tears
as
souvenirs

- that just speaks so metaphorically and is awesome ... and how the rest flows is just amazing - great 44.
Nice description of the golden tears at the end.
ReplyDeleteSuch a poignant quadrille! I love the lines:
ReplyDelete'...I let him go
into sunsets

So well written....a chameleon....excellent comparison.
ReplyDeleteThose last three lines are wonderful!
ReplyDeleteI think that sometimes you have to let go... those bright colors might dazzle... but in the end you need something else.
ReplyDeleteThank you everyone
