This is a short poem I wrote quite some time ago from the POV of character from my current novel, Weaving Moonlight. I'll not state which character because this poem is sort of spoiler-y. Do enjoy :)
I see a
little more,
See a little
further,
See a little
deeper.
Still it’s
not enough.
Like a
telescope I examine,
Like a
scientist I discern,
But how am I
to truly know
Who you
were, who you became?
Gaps appear
in my perception,
My long lost
once impression.
Do I need a
closer inspection?
Further
dissection of distant memories.
Were you
here I’d ring your neck,
As it is
I’ll wipe my tears,
Light a
candle
Snuff it
out.
