This IS a past write and yet they're always becoming still relevant somehow and when - more moments of life...ya know? I get a bit thought-full at times... as I wander places and leave noseprints behind.
"A Coffee Moment..."
So how are you 'dealin'
- with things and people now?
Are memories crowding close
unbidden...
unwanted.
How close are the walls
and the days
and the nights
and the hours-of-minutes
and minutes-of-hours,
and what's right
-- what's wrong
and why does it matter
now
and not then
or then and not now?
I knew a 'girl'
- don't we all? -
and her smile
radiant
...captivating
so very, very alive.
And her eyes
ALWAYS
held me
in ways she couldn't realize.
She's so pretty
behind her eyes
and sometimes silly
and thought-full
sometimes hope-full
and yet - sometimes not.
She's a woman
in ev'ry sense
and with ev'ry breath taken
I'm glad
she touched me...
ever
...at all.
