Lumpy Oatmeal makes me Crazy!

The bird cage has been empty
For longer than she remembers
Dusty curtains shield a dark room
From sunshine invasion
Remnants of perfumed dances
And forbidden kisses
Tongues touching, wet lips
Flits through her mind as she rocks
Parchment fingers touch lank strands
Watery blue eyes close
Never to see dusty, faded fans
Tacked to cracked walls
Never to smell particles of memories
Wafting from broken scrapbooks
Never to remember lonely days
Married to empty nights
Heaven is the oasis of her longings
Again, she is the object of his affection

This was a picture to be admired and treasured, a hanging memory of passion and days of yesterday. Youth time was way ago and many dreams hide in dark places and today you brought many back.

Enjoyed the read Alison, thank you for sharing.

Sincerely
Rick
