The faded pages of long-ago
reads like a journal
that's bound together by the threads of emotion
They speak of a tapestry from years gone by
written in the brain in braille... of a love
who took the time to welcome perishable moments
shared in the warm intimacy of passion
that flowed through our veins like a vaccine
When love was needed to wind the hands
on the timeless clock
that hangs on the wall of yesterday
When our daily lives were abandoned
and we created a self-imposed paradise
to invite the wondrous realm
of an incoming tide that suffocated the loneliness
that stirred within
Where the universe seemed endless and forgiving
until its passing became a burden we carried
as we wrote it down, somewhere in time
on the pages of our memory
when we wandered alone
remembering the beauty we shared
from the warmth of our arms
when we needed to be loved
