I Want Them

songs,pictures, art.
i want them.
people, places,thoughts.
i want to save them.
stories,books,clothes.
i want a collection of them.
flowers,jewelry,animals.
i want it to never fade from humans.

not the object.
the emotions they make me feel.

i want to immortalize these.
like wanting to save a silk blanket.
from the  flames of our attention spans.
 i want them to live forever. 
i want to stitch them together.

forever.
forever.
