Devoured By Love Poem by Jay Aguiniga

Observing the seasons,
devoured gradually, by the click of the clock
Gazing at the stars as they pass,
They follow a circular path, a journey of destiny.
Where is my hope? I am blinded to my horizon.
The Zion I search eludes, for it is unreachable
How can I breathe life into these lungs of mine?
Burning, the warm breeze that caresses my skin,
Cannot unfreeze, this cold empty heart.
I can’t help but to remember,
Everything reminds me of you
The night sky is the color of midnight blue,
And yet the mind is clouded gray by you.
The haunting of you at my side
Consumes every shadow.
Every step forward has embedded your
Footprints in my mind.
I cannot live without someone like you.
My chest still heaves
But the heart beat still, in this lifeless soul.
The phantom touch of your skin
Scars, every moment without you….
