a phrase, a song
a view of a face in a crowd
an emotion -- any one of these
could trigger an old memory, of when:
you were all the world to me
and through the years, all I could see
was you and I, together
flying over never-never land...
but fairy tales must turn to dust
when the midnight hour is struck
and moonlight fantasy dispelled
by the breaking of the dawn
(of reality)
and though
the glare might blind a bit, quite soon
the warmth accomplishment
can bring a soul will satisfy
far more than flimsy heartbroke visions:
but still...
just every once in a while..
there is my piece of backwards heart
that is still much in love with you
falling,
heedless
to it's
doom.
I feel it's bittersweet remembrance
ill starred love, so clearly rendered...
and yet, my grief by time is healed...
and I smile,
remembering.
