Memory

Even if all my ellipses run linear
and lose their orbits;

if my eyes turn dark and memoryless
I will vouchsafe no single regret

and lie down among your photographs

sightless yes

but mine eyes filled with love beams
which never desert;

shall light my way back
to our parting.

I'll not part time's countenance
this separates you and I;

rather I will allow my senses
to reel in the past
and bring you
once again into my presence

where kisses will rain down
love's joys
upon us

and hearts will pound
strong enough
to bring you back again.

They all say its my fantasy
its not, in my mind
if you believe
because all love is

part desire
part fantasy

and you are mine.

I'll lay me down
to sleep this night
tucked in My-Your Memory
 

and my Longings
neatly aligned.

Omega Factor by John Henning

Take some time to walk outside of your own mind and into another, walk slowly and carefully; the mind that you step on might be your own.
