Melodies are my memories Tunes in my head Unexpected treasures Hidden from my mind Grown up world of Weight, toil Burden and despair Sudden song sends me back To the valleys of my youth Whispers in my soul "Jesus loves me this I know" "Snaps, snails and puppy dog tails" Hopscotch skipped In simple rhyme Celebrating ghosts Of happier times; Bestest friend First date Our song Loves long forgotten Stories never told Fragrances felt In hues of pink, purple and blue Laughter, shrieks and dare Tinkle...Tinkle...Tinkle Tiny ballerinas dance As floating on air Far away eyes Looking back at me Where have I known you Little lost dreams Dancing through A window pane Blink and shudder Empty room Vision fades To flesh and bone Pale light casting A straight white line Ugly pen to coarse paper Tinkle...Tinkle...Tinkle Melodies are my memories Tunes in my head
Reason for writing:
I am separated from my two daughters by divorce & 210 miles.
I was sitting at the breakfast table, thinking of them when this came to me.
Poems in a way, are somewhere I'm taken to & I just write about the experience
