Hopelessness

With clink of 
Glasses against
The warmth of a
Smoky fireplace.

A subtle emotion,
Bittersweet,
Of seemingly never
Ending place. 

I remember a
Japanese phrase,
That means
"I love you".
I say it loud 
Without proper
Pronounciation. 

But it bounces
Back from the
Shabby South-wall,
Like a song of a
Long lost dawn.

To which I dance
Artlessly,
Remembering all
The abrupt good-byes.

And life now has
Come down to a
Sort of insomnia borne
Jolt of awareness,
That I'll die one day
And eventually,
Move on.
