Playing the Ace Card

ever heard it to many times

Playing the Ace Card

I often said but I can't remember it any more
Stumbling through the confusion of alphabet's chore
I speak without words now
I hide meaning in my soul
If someone called to me
I would merely close my eyes,
ask for more of the same,
When you finally get here
I will certainly know your name.

A clever write Alfred I always remember the faces it's just the names don't stick. lol

I guess dealing the cards isn't in me. I'll find those poems though seeping out of my soul again.

Poker anyone?

Regards,

Hi Bacchus!

I like the straightforward look of your face. A lovely face.
You can always remember someone when they repeatedly say the same thing. Thanks for stopping!

Regards,
Al

I like the playfulness of this piece
-yet there can be something deeper about trumping someone with that one card.

two things come to mind-
one just the victory of playing the ace...

or pulling out that one time someone hurt you so bad
-you just win the fight...

I think it's the former here- because it seems so playful...
but it doesn't take me long to remember when I've played
just the right card on my husband in a fight.
(now i'm just getting old enough to forget those stupid things we hang on to!)

Well, I'm rambling now- it was a fun one, either way.

i think of the Beatles' "i will"

"and if i ever saw you, i can't recall your name, say it loud so i can hear you, make it easy to be near you, cause the things you do endear me to you, .....

we have those memories up our sleeves...don't need to play those cards though...just know they are there.
