Gone Without a Trace

From its distance the sun feels bold as it kisses your face

Graces a mortal temple with glints of a golden god's place

Shy relief in the clouds as the sun blushes with desires chase

Maybe I'm amazed that you left without a trace

===========================

Eyes that linger in the pool mirroring narcissisms watery base

Rationale a human flaw, as I tremble to meet your embrace

Claim you've cared for me waiting quiet in the shadow's shy space

Maybe I'm amazed that you left without a trace

====================================

An eclipse conspired to blind judgment in my fall from grace

Beyond rhyme or reason, radiant heat rays ran raw to outpace

Left me breathless on a virgin journey but to lose a fixed race

Maybe I'm amazed that you left without a trace

====================================

Though the stars still shine illuminating an empty crystal vase

And the man in the moon smiles, betraying loss I won't erase

You live in the heart of me enduring beyond the will to displace

And, maybe I'm amazed that you left without a trace

========================================

The winter sun flickers solace as fickle nature cements its case

Though the earth shook, it still spins on point without disgrace

And the sun lights my canvas in rich shades and shadow's lace

Still, maybe I'm amazed that you left without a trace

========================================
