Lavender Crystal

When the past stops reminding us and memories start fading away, and smiles seem easier to find.

From the deserted table,
Under veils of still dust,
Bring back emotions unfelt of late,
A little crystal of lavender taste.

Ponder & wonder,
For I can’t remember,
What memory you relate?
Why I treasure this vain trace?

A relic for a fallen angel,
For days unremembered & nights unforgotten,
A relic that feigns a twinkle,
That looked better in her eyes.

Naughty in her beauty,
As she flutters between my fingers,
With a smile on my lips, I let her slip again,
A little crystal, a little too late.

Great word choice, I love the "A little crystal of lavender taste" and "Naughty in her beauty". I love the wondrous feeling of the poem. Beautifully written!
