Poem: Ashes

As you leave my life 

poems leave too.

Was this just about the drama?

Or the need to be fooled?

Not by you in any case

but by life itself.

I think we were both trapped

with no much choice or say.

Like a tornado of possibilities

you came into my world.

And as quickly as you came...

You were gone...

Now, all those possibilities just are

the ashes of a love

that we could not hold

or grasp.
