For the contest, "Pick a Title, Vol. 52, "Intrusive Thoughts" by Edward Ibeh
Often quiet evenings, when I read, Memories of you softly intrude Times when you were my only need Heady days of a love we pursued and saw only in glasses rose hued. Thoughts surface I wish would move on, as unknown others invade my sleep. They are interlopers, quickly spawned, spreading fantasies that grow and creep, like tangled vines invading my sleep. Dreams of you lie easy on my eyes memories tossed and tumbled with time. Although the past may wear a disguise discarding thoughts we'd like to decline I like thoughts of you caressing mine Memories are stored of long-ago past, as your sweet face invades my mind with sunshine days that will always last. They're a treasure we happened to find while intrusive thoughts are left behind.
