Honey You're Familiar...

a poem about remembering

this song

triggers a

total recall

of moments

i try so hard

to forget

the beginning

notes

trickling honey

and amber

over memories

that don't feel

real

sunshine filtering

through stretches

of time

that were once

filled to the brim

with fondness

the chorus

reminding me

that the scenes

flashing behind

my eyelids

once made me

as content as

the melody

of this song

despite the blurred

edges around the

memories of my

time with her,

and the heavy

curtains that cover

them

marking them

a thing of

the past

the final

tune casts

a golden colored

tint over these

moments, reminding me

of happiness

just like this song

used to remind me

of her, every time

i listened

[John the Baptist]

Sometimes we recall the good, sometimes something other. Although time has apparently put a haze around the edges of a past relationship here, what comes through is mellow. Hold on to it. It could definitely be worse.

[Isabella Cezanne]
