Memorium



Clouds circle us like a circus
 Watch them trapeze down from the sky

 The rolling hills moved beneath our feet
 Verdent forest floors flowed with floral patterns

 Meanwhile the full moon shone through the leaves
 Do you remember these -- moments?

 They remain stalled in clock -- frozen in time
 Flowing inside your soul & growing in mine

 Do you still feel my wet lips touch yours,
 As we hold everso close in the tide?

  Forever in our memorial, these moments last
 Owned & grasped between our hearts,
 As if they were photo designed.
