Raspberries and Lilacs
Raspberries and Lilacs
Wanting to go back,
heart snags on reality...
wanting to unravel time,
pluck the years off
one by one
Better times paint
pictures in the mind,
but they are air-brushed
renditions
Wanting to bathe
in the perfume of lilacs
Raspberry essence
No choice now
Walk to knock
on Death's black door
Denied entrance
No gilded invitation
No crashing this party
