This--- this is my piece of you. I wrap in silk and tie with lace. Protect you, deep, under my quilt, in chest of cedar blessed by grace, as memories stream down my face, amid my posies, pressed. Should I grow old, I hope to wander up these attic stairs to linger-- every fold of satin thought, every crease, a smile to finger... trace of lace, mystery's face, memories now, my posies gold... and in that moment, ever young, once again, your hand, I'll hold. |

Loved this . . . those memories are so precious. The lace imagery is beautiful. Lone Wolf Poetry should surprise by fine excess...it should strike the reader as a wording of his own highest thoughts and appear almost a remembrance. -J.Keats |
