I Walk the path
of a foggy distant memory
tripping over stones
and the gems
of whom we were back then
the rustling of satin sheets
upon the sighs of night
back when there
was a wiggle in my walk
when a turtle neck
was too tight
and our budget was too low
our bed was a double
and a dishwasher, not affordable
those distant memories
is when we were the closest
a vacation two hours away
back the same day
and the benches
of our daughters little league
held the tears of the losers
and our hearts beat
like our sons favorite cartoon
Speed Racer
to the tune of midnight love
and the kitten clawing at the door
as i did down the back
of another day in paradise


"If music be the food of love, play on."  (William Shakespeare)

Too bad the look back always seems better than the present.
Good write, though.
