D a T e S

I have a thing with dates
 I have a date with dates
 I have dates with deadlines

 Some dates are treasured
 While some are dreaded
 Memorable dates looked upon
  with relish
 Some dates are better not 
  remembered,
 For the pains and memory they evoke
 For the scars they remind me of.

 Birthdays, marriage and anniversaries               
  are dates remembered with pomp
 Deaths, betrayals and separations
  are dates engraved in our memories
