There are those places, spaces better left alone Something calls my spirit to the stairs Amid the boxes, dusty and webbed Private things…remembrances only his The feminine in me steers the passage Up, cautiously, in fear of unknown origin As if to call my name, the coffer gleams Private things…remembrances only his Trembling hands lift the ragged cover Just as each trembling breath escapes my lungs And written there, her heart spilled on these pages Private things…remembrances only his This ego of mine, bruised, cries out in green smoke Up, angrily, I stand shaking as the fire burns inside To read another love, in depth that blushed my body Private things…remembrances only his There are those places, spaces better left alone Until, in tears, I saw my love through her eyes Amid the boxes, dusty and webbed Private things…remembrances only his Softly, to fold the past into my being, he stood there His eyes filled in the sight of his dreams and his nightmares And I realized the truest prize my life had been gifted Private things…remembrances only his As we saw each other, a smile found the reasons to be right Amid the boxes dusty and webbed, I held him tight And written there, a friendship deeper than any wound Private things…remembrances only ours Copyright Kkh 5/18/03 |

Diamond: you have done a beautiful job of describing that place we all have - where we travel to in need . . . whether it be the heart - the mind, a photo album , a writing . . . Beautiful memories xxoo |
