Playing Old Memories...

Heartstrings stretched tightly Over love’s violin The bow of memory slides slightly Stirring you once again My mind echoes the orchestra We had once played Though I try time and again To forget the charades Breaths of the clarinet Songs from your breath Those melodies I can’t forget Even after Love’s death The hours play symphonies Time after time Yesterday’s taunt me With what had been mine. The blues of the saxophone Quicken the pace Of echoes of loneliness Of thoughts un-erased. Your smile still plays tricks And your voice still splays laughter Our dreams are still mixed Without a happily ever after. Your softness is felt upon piano keys And all your words of love resound. I can’t help but thumb through these memories And remember the warmth in the sound. The past is behind, but love unforgotten Filling my soul with old dreams The unending melodies we had begotten have awakened love’s lost requiems. and I can't help remembering when... Again... and again...
