If You Knew

If you knew my past
  the wonders and things I've seen
  trials and tribulations of when and where I've been
it would amaze you but you don't ask.

I could tell you stories
  escapades and experiences both good and bad
  illusions and delusions, the magic  I once had
erased by time and memories blocked territories.

In my heart it's all still there
 remembered but locked and stored away
 mysterious and mystical thoughts held at bay
ready for the taking with much more left to spare.

If you knew what I have treasured
 the good, the bad, the ugly and beautiful
 the not living life as usual
the lessons learned by which all is measured.

If you knew...
