A MEMORY
A peaceful time,
At rest in me.
A piece of mind,
That’s best to be
Adrift at sea
Within my thoughts,
A lonesome time,
A gift of sorts.
Alas,
Though freed
I cannot see,
The things I need,
To do and be.
For love has left,
I’m all but gone,
A silent husk,
While life goes on.
And nothing,
But a memory.
A picture left,
To set them free,
A love so strong,
A heart that soars.
A time that’s come,
And left my shores.
For you I pine
In sleep at night.
I scream aloud
In dreadful fright.
Distress that burns.
To you I turn.
A distant light
For which I yearn,
And you alone
Can calm my heart,
To mend the hurt
Of lovers, torn apart.
