so noted!
:)
post-it note
memories
jotted moments to remember
but not hold onto
i may need this touch--this smile...
carry it with me
a while--
or display it where it
can remind me
of something important
enough to keep
before my eyes...
but never commit it
to permanance
lest it become archived
and lost in the crush of life.
and yet my heart
has a chamber filled
with such fleeting
notes of moment
Oh, I could...
yes,
wrap a blanket
of warm words from a
long-lost lover
to hold fast against the
cold stillness
in my heart
and warm myself
with sentences-
soothe my soul
with syllables of solace...
but for tonight
I will shiver in reality
inure myself to perceived comforts
of words, however fiery with passion.
and endure the loveless winter, she,
a cold hearted sister to
summer's warm eternal promises
whispered in maddening moments
when we chose to not know better.
