A Dream of Forever

A Dream of Forever Paint to paper A dream of forever However far away No matter the distance The colors still remain To capture the memories Lost in the grave Or in the midst of everything else What we choose to remember Whispers amongst strangers Fading away as do dreams Fireworks and chandeliers A spectacle, All the rave Close the curtains and dim the lights Others could do without Sticking their noses in our house Hands over eyes As the day dies I hold onto the hem of your shirt For as long as I can hold a grip Of our time on this earth Trying to comprehend Why it all came to an end The sun is in your eyes Stars are in mine Barefoot walking in the grass Bury the lights that have you trapped inside your mind In the dead of night Stay if you may But only if out of my way I fade out in time in the dark of night Circles in the rain Salty waves swept my heart away How do you sleep With all those memories Of our haunted enchanted love story How dare I call you mine A free spirit journeying through time Saw me at my worst And continued to dig Deep down into my pit With no remorse no wit The truth is clear in dimly lit places My glory days Shall never fade away Marckincia Jean Free verse 12/28/19
