The Quest

Forget everything. Forget all our dreams. Of children and marriage and life filled so meticulously. For once in this lifetime. I just want to be me. Forget all the passion All the love that we plead. Forget all the anger Forget all the zeal. Remember the heart That once used to beat. Not needing a battery To complete every feat. Remember the need To be more than you can conceive. Remember the want Remember the heat. Remember the greed To procure every stead. To walk in the park square. With your head Not facing your knees. Revive the action Revive thee please. Revive every emotion That once set you free. Steady you stand No need or demand. Speeding heart you recede. No barrier to compete. The fire rein stilled. The love refilled. Words come so easily with a power That I had forgotten how to feel. Do not restrain me Or refrain from thee. This love that once made thee Shall never be regained. Love lost love found Love stolen and then gathered around. So arguably untainted So incompletely infatuated BY Amanda.M.Miller
