You say I’ve started on page one. That’s a novel idea.
lips pursed, forehead wrinkled in thought, eyes to
go about their charm as they walked, their color
contracting and expanding, contracting and expanding
in rhythm to the angels that surround your heart. You know,
I asked them to today. It was three-fifteen and I prayed to God
with my eyes tight shut to hold us steadfast in this storm—
I said “please” under my breath too many times, too many times.
I mean, I said it until my lips were sore from the contractions of my
mouth and my fingers were sore from the incessant strumming of my
vocal cords. If I could speak one more word.

They say “out of sight, out of mind”. And is that such
a revelation? If there’s pictures only to match emotions
and faces are far away and light only touches upon what
we ourselves can touch and the only voices we hear are
the ones resounding within our own ears, is it really such
a truth?

Page fifty-six now. My hands are starting to ache
and the ink’s bled slowly from my pen. Write the love letter?
I must. A proclamation of my emotions? I will.
For if I’m out of your reach for the time being I do not
want you questioning what I did. You’re out of sight,
but never, ever, will you cease to cross my mind.

Hi, you have a beautiful Passions name. I like the feel of your poem, it kind of spills out, and spreads itself around you.

aurora rain,

Sigh. Sometimes we'd like to forget, but we just can't. Somehow we always remember. Very interesting piece. I liked it.
