all that remains

of a passion felled
on burning leaves
and smeared scarlet
of lipstick from
mouth to cheek;

for ruins remaining
of waiting at
flint-skied piers
in the everlast of dusk

    Within the ruins lie the beauty of memories.

      I only wish I could recall where those memories are from.
