And there began our oral history.
Removed from text, living and breathing.
Passed back and forth between lips. 
I myself a promise, her oath.
The anxious lump that hesitates in the back of the throat.
The inner most of courage exchanged in deep sigh.
Finding it impossible to hold on...

One wonderful trait about being human is the ability to reminisce…
to remember people, places, things and moments
that have happened…that we miss.

its floors and walls and ceiling are lined 
with a myriad of memories our children left behind.

Floating in the air…they wait…and...

A heart shaped bookmark 
Marked blank page waiting for words
For unknown reasons 
Lost in the mist of the night
Found in the pristine morning...

A bookmark separates the future
From the part that’s passed.
The pages that it’s stuck between
Remind us what came last.

Each day we live’s a bookmark then;
We know what’s come before
But what comes next may bring us
Brand-new vistas to explore…

Or maybe not. No way to tell
What’s waiting in...

Joseph the Christ figure giraffe bookmark
wooly resents that penultimate comment
and tells me whut

there is indeed a place in my heart
cordoned off for only you
though you left me seeing black,
my love for you remained infinitely intact
as a result, there is no comprehension of a covenant
for no one comes close to the flawless fusion in which you so elegantly...

peace is needed today
i drive to a quiet place
people are taking a back seat today
i turn on some rare 60s and 70s afrobeat
i need to calm down and recharge
i need the medicinal assistance of a place where i can just breathe and take in

lavender ribbons 
from your hair 
lay against 
the pages
I love to read
so much
and as I turned 
the pages
the smell 
of your hair
makes me 
love the words
even more
as I envision
our last touch.
Such was ours a 
bittersweet
journey
which was so
impossible 
for me to 
disembark
because my darling
for me you...
