Words, words, wordsArchive for love lost
Would You Tell Me Again?
If I asked you politely,
would you tell me again
that I look good in black?
that I walk too fast?
that I make the best gnocchi you’ve ever tasted?
that it’s my turn to take out the trash?
that I talked in my sleep last night?
that you love me?
It’s something I don’t hear very often, and I want to remember what is sounds like.
Recalls to Memory
Lying,
Music recalls to memory,
Passion,
Joyous great oceans of union, wide rivers of you.
I long for a shared moment, gentle moment,
Loving words, convincing words,
Your breast,
Firelight.
Standing,
Music recalls to memory,
Africa,
Intensity,
Great oceans of love, wide rivers of loss.
Give me a high branch, strong branch,
Strong rope, short rope,
Noose tight,
Take flight.
