Touch Not The Memory Touch not the memory let it slumber on That half forgotten memory will soon be gone There is only a thought struggling to survive Trying to take me back, an old touch to revive There is no knowing where the danger still stays The touch of memory lingers for countless days Although dead and buried it won’t lie and rot Its time and past for this lost thought to be forgot Rouse not the memory don’t call forth its fears For inside the memory lurks oceans of tears The dreams that I dreamt have faded from my view Leaving just a hollow dream that didn’t come true Thoughts of summer days flow into autumn’s light Dragging the memory into its dark sight Don’t walk the path of forgotten less you are lost Nor ride the wings of darkness don’t bear pain’s cost Stir not the memory let it fade from you Let it sink into depths where it’s lost to your view Inside that memory is this fragile thought Of dreams dearest wishes and a hope best unsought This butterfly memory can do you no good Taking you to pain that’s never understood Let this thing go let it just slip away gently Don’t touch this sore thought touch not the memory Marsha Breathe through the heat of our desire |

Rouse not the memory don’t call forth its fears For inside the memory lurks oceans of tears The dreams that I dreamt have faded from my view Leaving just a hollow dream that didn’t come true This is absolutely beautiful, Marsha... from the title through the last word. *S* |
