Fading Memory, Remembered But Soon Will Be Gone

Fading Memory, Remembered But Soon Gone Where once your eyes saw my saddest light Where once your heart begged for my kiss Where once you loved me deeply at night All of that and much more I dearly miss. Your love you gave so very well for a time Your touch, you were so generous and free Your laughter when I would repeat my rhyme Your request for another poem about a tree. All of that and so much more I dearly miss Now time has taken you from my soft touch Now time denies me your memories, my bliss Now time sets to justly punish me this much. I fall into this deep, dark and massive abyss Where I shall forget all of our secret trysts! Robert J. Lindley, 1-28-2016

A touching poetry of life. Like dear persons poetry find a nest in our heart and continues to live passing from soul to soul. Sometimes we feel like Matusalem. All my admiration.
