JUST A MEMORY NOW
(DaMaMuBriKeMe)
Leaning
on lamp post, lungs spent, he lingers,
Lest
he may not make it to the next one,
Love
you, yes, little heart shouts unheard,
Smothered
‘neath embarrassment,
Shame,
just a memory now.
Sitting
on grass beside her, she is my world,
Her
laugh, contagious, captures mine,
Together,
I am home where I belong,
Peaceful
heaped upon my plate,
Joy,
just a memory now.
Mystical
marvels warm, feelings beyond begin,
Her
fathomless faith radiates love,
Sisterhood,
friendship, know no bounds,
Her
strength is mine so undeserved,
Soul
mate, just a memory now.
Relaxed
in armchair, relief raised feet,
Quiet
eyes reflect on words unspoken,
Lift
a glass, cheers to evening,
A
day’s work done and all is well,
True
love, just a memory now.
Impatience
rules and words are harsh,
Yet
look within, see habit reign,
While
brush in hand great beauty wins,
As
canvas fills with dreams on wall,
Burdened,
just a memory now.
Hands
on keyboard, I’m still here,
My
heart implodes with quiet fear,
Bring
them back, don’t let this be,
The years
are minutes blinding me,
This
moment, just a memory now.
