About Love


I often
wonder
what I will
remember most
when all is said
and done
About love
I mean
in general
and about you
in particular
The anger,
the frustration
that seemed
constant
The never ending
need
The mad emotions
that fuelled
a life
running on
empty.

Or will it be
the words
all the
beautiful
words
in all the poems
written on bits
of paper
Fading now
difficult to read
Needing to be
rescued
so that they will
live
forever
burned onto
CD's

  5. I think of the memory of when I was young...so small - being held by a loved one who is not longer around. An image that I have written about before. Burned into memory like that special paper that outlines silhouettes of leaves and flowers, real yet distant in the same view.
