* Wishing Love Away * Poem by Kay Barcelon

Ecstasy doesn’t always last
A temporary high like a drug
Love doesn’t always shine
Sometimes too shy like the sun

We have been many times over
Reaching for someone near
Only to ratify we are alone again
Yet this time it is not what it seems

The love that we once knew
We promised will never depart
Now as it if it was never there
Undeniably we had a change of heart

We loved and the love does not return
Like a coin we dropped on a wishing well
We know it is there and we are a wish away
The feeling exists simply we can not feel
