Finally, a midnight shower
in the candlelight
All alone.
Exorcising you.
The desire
The mischief
No residue left
Of you
Of you and me
Making a memory
Now the steam rises
from the shower
And nothing else.
Collecting to egg me
To create
New memories
It’s time
to move on.
To a life beyond you.
A life whose gates you opened.
The opaque window melts…
Willing me to start afresh.
Again. Again. Again.

TT- Back to wistful?
No lady should give up that easily…
Thanks for sharing another one of your beautiful poems. I think it’s my first time posting this but i love your poems. They have this wonderful poignancy and depth to them. This poem was beautiful but a little sad. Why is it so hard to move on?Why is it so hard to remove memories that have been carved over time? This is something i ask myself sometimes.
Sometimes giving up seems like the only answer.
Qc, QCadmirer:) — Funny this:)
I wrote this a year ago after I decided to write about my feelings post my breakup with my first-ever girlfriend. Perhaps, that’s why it sounds wistful. If Gaysi edit team, posts my next story (*fingers crossed*) called desire — u will know why:)
i think writing about breakups helps to kind of resolve those feelings related to the breakup and gives closure. I mean i’ve never had a gf but i find myself thinking of poems about internet crushes of which i have a couple.
anyway i love your stories they seriously give me a boost in the mornings when i come onto gaysi. So no doubt about it it will be posted.
about the name..what can i say i’m a fan of all the writers here at gaysi but i don’t know how many times i’ll be able to change my name so i’m keeping my name stable and i want you guys to know that your stories do touch many ppl… even though they may live far away. 🙂
i’d like to write my own gaysi story one day..about internet crushes. do you think that would be ok on gaysi?
ive read many of your previous stories before but this is the first story im posting on. So i just wanted to say that ive enjoyed all your stories and been a silent admirer of your eloquent writing, the way you paint pictures with your words, the way you transport your readers into a passionate world of gaysi love and the way you make them forget about their troubles in the real world even for a moment.
It is incomprehensible to me how anyone could possibly break up with you. As a totally objective person and from your reading your posts i think you’re perfect. At the least they should have been willing to change if required. Personalities like yours are hard to find in the non-gay world but especially in our much smaller gay world that it definitely needs to be appreciated much more than it is. I hope that your ex reads this and feels wistful about what she is missing.
