Old Recent Poems Poem by Rick Elpers

Reading yesterday's 
Words of time slowly
 Slowly yielding to me
Only a fraction of my desire
 The need to suffer no longer
The angst of even a healing
 Brokenness of the heart
Each little piece felt
Excruciating the contrast 
To love against the soulful
Darkness to which became 
My mistress, for pain reasoned 
From love, drives inward 
Remembrance to pleasure
Thus Igniting the flames burning
Bringing everything to ashes 
That must be buried.
