Unbearable Poem by YURI DURAAN

I have lost you
in the space between two moments –
two blinks of an all-seeing eye..

We were there, in the hallways
of my mind, in a painting of a great master,
portrayed as Love Personified,
a god and goddess in sensual embrace
for future generations to admire…

then there was nothing
the wall was left bare,
the canvass a clean slate

I reached into you and found emptiness –
the wholeness has become a void,
a chasm through which the wind howls,
searching for warm flesh to bond with….
its screeching unbearable to my
shattered mind.
