The night sky shone;
diamonds in her skirts
sparkling within velvet folds
skin pale as the snow
gathering about the garden
to mingle with lips red as a rose
Bittersweet memories pull,
drawing the mind from reality
to a place long gone before.
A heart's strings
pulling on the muscles of memories
to be cast from the drought
and into the visions of her eyes.
Heart as pure
as that of the smallest child;
just as joyful and curious
laughter like crystal
brightening the dimmest of rooms-
the darkest of souls.
this dream of a lost reality,
the only light
in a heart long past broken.
Author notes
Many thanks for SezmeKnuHart. Interestingly enough it was the name of the poem 'Please Remind Me' that brought the inspiration for this one.
