All I Have

Memories of then, when
  we met and I held my gaze
below your eyes
  and watched your lips
to see whether they would smile
  or frown at my sincerity.

The ride in front of,
  turning to see you watching
lingering behind, then
  catching up and passing me
looking back...
  I remember.

I remember the first kiss,
  stunned me, held me to you
daring me always to reach deeper
  and release my hold.

A scrapbook of mental memories,
  written in masked platitudes
understood only by two
  expressed by one.

Take care

Those memories are memories

Your life is special and your own

I felt when I read this first I should reply
and 2 hours later I will.

Memories of then, when

On a day
When the earth stood still
And the audience sighed
Beckoning
For the final curtain

And

we met and I held my gaze
below your eyes

Looking uncertain

  and watched your lips
to see whether they would smile
  or frown at my sincerity

at your smile
turning

The ride in front of,
  turning to see you watching

wondering why the camera
and the catch

lingering behind, then
  catching up and passing me
looking back...
  I remember.

what were you trying to sell me
On the ride

I remember the first kiss,
  stunned me, held me to you
daring me always to reach deeper
  and release my hold

the water from the juml
the cars pasing by
the roustabouts
picking money

from the seats

A scrapbook of mental memories,
  written in masked platitudes
understood only by two
  expressed by one.


The earth doesn't change
It doesn't move
People take on guilt
A lot take on luggage

Sometimes you want memories
and outlive them

While you are living them
They are short term memories
Afterwards
they seem a long time ago

Most are used
When someone wants something

The only time
You get a call

Not as I meant the words to be
but I often think
that Doctor Hook had more sense of common sense than most.

a lovely scrapbook it must be
and though you think its only seen by you...
i think he remembers too
no one could forget a smile like yours

I remember all too well,  this place you took me to.

Hugging you~
