The Memory Of A Memory Of A Dream

9/6/08

soft melodies and pastels

happiness and blue

yearning feelings and blurred pictures

warm and safe but only

the memory of a memory of a dream

dust motes stained gold

liquid yellow creeps along my skin

brown carpet rough under my back

the same feeling

happiness

a song this time

soothing and peaceful and just so mellow

like the iridescence of a black cat lounging in the sun

before he rolls in the dust and turns grey

with forgetfulness

dried bouquets

sweet peas and one rose

still pink at the center

but slowly giving up in time to retain some soft beauty

you ask what love is

i can give you no other reply than

those days when we sat and drank black currant tea

and read books and talked as the rain steadily fell

enclosing us in a soft moment we wished would never end

it is the same happiness
