revolving doors ~inspired by Perri Forrest

My sis *sister in scribe/sister in spirit* is penning a book to be released soon. "Revolving Doors" is the prequel to her short, "Rendezvous". this poem is inspired by her sweet story.

i tried to forget you

in foreign arms

and scripted kisses

i tried

unsuccessfully,

to 'x' out your impression

with penciled happiness

weakly scribbled over

pen-stained love

i sought comfort

in purpose

and drive

and still my eyes

were not dried

in every move away

i drew closer to closure

closer to the thing

i chased like butterflies

against zephyrs of denial...

i was searching for redemption

and what i found...

was solely searchable

...in you

hidden in muffled breaths

found in limbo

upon your lips

i found you...

in suppressed memories

resurfaced from corked springs

of past summers...

and now,

i am redeemed

as i come full circle

spun through a revolving door

bringing me home

...to you
