Echoing Memories

Your smiling face, in a half forgotten memory haunts me
and words come by slow degrees, and not so effortlessly
as in the firey valcano of a love known in youth
which is always a thing of such beauty and truth
Your verses echo in my mind, like some imortal storm
with such force of truth that I hear now in their form
the truths you knew but I was yet to young to know
though by a year I am older as the calendar goes
You knew there was no place for me within your clique
and that you could not escape, your manner mild and meek
No matter that I stood ready to stand against the tide
I was but one, and there were so many on the other side
You knew it would be my end, and as a true friend
would set me free -- against my will before the end
but your verses would speak of a longing regret-
and in your rhymes would leave to my heart a single debt
Promising to remember me as the truest of friends
wishing love and happieness that never ends
This a like vow would require, and such loyalty to inspire
that still to this very day I recall, every syllable in all
of the parting verse you gave, echoing always in my mind
though your wished happieness and love I have come to find
wishing only the same to you as your words echo in heart and mind.

| It is so nice to read of something which does not wreak of vengeance nor darkness and despair. I have been married twice but have not hatred or any such thing towards either of my wives.............................doglas |
