Reminiscing...

Poem Artwork

 

Passing through town, I stopped

and wandered around. Sat on the bench

where we loved and carved our names.

 

Fingered the grooves that spelled

out a song. Tracing and longing,

where did we go wrong?

 

It was brittle, sharp edges

and hard. Succumbed to erosion

and fully scarred.

 

Reminiscing among the

dampness, left me cold.

Shivering, remembering...disturbed by

the lies we told.

 

Jumped to my feet and quickly ran,

like I did yrs ago,

when you gave me your hand.

Unless I am reading this wrong, this was a sad piece. It was extremely well crafted and very reflective. BTW, I left a message on your other post and made an error. That number is a 505 area code. Sorry I will take care of it in the morning.

GOD BLESS YOU
