Plucking at time's strings

Lost in time’s journaled ball of string

Broken dreams 
              Knotted into now’s
                                   Forgotten when’s


Silence hides
                    Within the corner 
                                            Of a loneliness
                                                                

A cold tear mocks
                          The kindness
                                          Of a faded memory


Old lover’s
              Rekindle the flame
                                  Of smoldering kisses


Laughter
            Teases the edges
                               Of an endless love


Adding to time’s journaled ball of string
