PEREA, FELIPE 1/7/50 - 3/14/10 LOVE ETERNAL Under a burst of starlight We held a piece of star that burned our hands And marked the fates, eternally knowing We would always beyou and I. A pregnant rose ripe with its perfumed scent Opened and filled the twilight, And as the wind caresses the trees and tangles itself Within sharp pines and soft jade leaveswe loved, Two trees side by side, Both bending in the strong winds, Our soft shadows sheltering each other. However, like a voyager, from being to nothingness, You left me to travel the unknown--far away In the silent membrane of alternate consciousness, Whose horizons now hide you from me. Beloved, you are now part of the night Dark, silent, and secluded, And I am left on the shore of my mourning With only my memories and eternal love Lapping at the barren shore in winter's wind. --R. A. Perea 2013
