Scraps and scribbles from 1960 - 2015 |
The familiar "Darlin'", your Southern drawl Combined to pull me back somehow To another time, a place I once knew, A life I left behind - and you. "C'mon, talk to me," you said My heart pounded in my head. You reached across space and time Nudging into this life of mine. Each note you send short or long Expresses words of interest; Strewn about, they cautiously Recall the passion between us. Larger than life to me you were Beyond my reach - a dream Yet I could not resist your allure A hope, born of love unseen. Once I did not think you could see Feelings hidden deep by me. A relationship of professional name It never became a lover's game. The kiss in my office so oft recalled Throughout the years, -your name, I Resisted all the memories of you Now drifting on the winds of fame. I did not think nor talk of you A flickering light I left behind I dared not stay nor intrude You were the married kind. Yet now alighting on my door Incanting once my name You tore the threshold of memory Asunder with your flame. For what is love to those that not Its passion understand? A lovers tryst or a lover's knot Untangled power in gentle hands. Walking once away from you Regretting every minute I can't imagine my world now Without you somehow in it. tuc 12/16/2010 |
