Emotions Lost

When this pen of mine it dries
Pondered words in memory dies
Forever lost on paper wrought
Emotions gone in fleeting thought
Left there to beg unwritten script
Falls quiet into memories crypt
What words hath thou in mind
You have failed to leave behind?

Those last two lines bring it home exquisitely. Such a splendid mix of words and phrases. Kathy
