belonging

 If I were five
I would wonder why
someone would give up
something loved
so long
so easily
but the years
are exponential multiplied
and the answer
to questions of possession
still manages
to break my heart

Travel Theme: Misty & Tagged “M”

tgged m misty

M is for Memory
a soft Mist that caresses
Mutters sweet nothings
in our ears
Makes Music of the days
or chills Mind
numbs the Mutiny
of Marauding thought
rolls over the Minefield
of the past
until its Metamorphosis
into Myth

dry

like much else, these come in varying qualities of usefulness

BLAM – there it was right within arm’s reach. Hotel or home, plush or twist, crazy colours or bright white, there’s nothing like wrapping up in a really big towel to make you feel
like a little kid again…
