Vanished Rooms

Those rooms vast, fast vanished;
I relinquished them for you,
My mind vanquished from my life,
Spaces that could have breathed,
Faces I will never know.

Those rooms life suppressed;
Commitment to the
Long-suffering-Long-standing
Idea of us,
Of love. My love.

Those rooms vast, fast vanish;
A woe so heavy,
Burden ridden nights,
Held onto forever
Forlorn hope that it will
Turn into light.

These rooms left, half space;
Desire half fulfilled,
Life half grown/shown,
Mind half developed
Aching for experience
To be known –
