Doth the heart beat with the tireless time, In th' birth of a long forgotten form To see beyond this dream of woven thoughts- "Onwards! Onwards!" cries the memories Ah, 'tis a past not worth remembering! For death begins with births first breath- "Onwards!" screams the memories but yet I linger in the moment ne'er passing. Lo! 'tis a tear on a vessel sailing down, without thee to be heard in the wake of the past "Too late!" says the memories knowingly- a play of visions from the past shall always end the same drown in thy lonesome form awoken lover, Mere tears shall not save thee from the grave- nor shall the world know thine name "Angels hath no name" recites the memories. Ah! Be forgotten once more remembered pain, Be a sin and place thyself amongst the thoughts 'twas a shadows lips my own dost taste- "It lingers! It lingers!" implies the memories what mortal could resist this taste, Come down the hero hath fallen astray- what place be this unto any such on earth "It is before thou dies" whispers the memories. What poor soul hast washed away, The new day for the old And reached into the sky with open arms- 'Tis what I must do to see thee once more It longs!- it longs!- be death a whole new world, And on the rest be none like me- For death begins with births first breath "Onwards! Onwards!" cries the memories. |

Red, I am glad to see you post again, too! Memories do seem to take on a life of their own. What would life be without them? As for reaching for the sky, I've been accused of trying to touch the stars more than once. I still dream and try! ~ Klassy |
