Sitting down one Sunday evenning
Staring down the Sunset's gaze
He's startled once again by laughter
He traces it back to his daughter's face
She came running to her daddy-

Forget-me-nots-
hanging in the firepit.
Letters of love-
buried under memory.
Candies and dinners-
forgotten in sewers.

So I wont write you letters
or send you cheap cards

Once again,
my thoughts reach a pen

Once again, my hand moves swiftly
to save what was once an important thought.
Matters of the "heart, mind, and bosom,"
Rarely worded in such a way,

Reflecting on this evenning past,
I do not care how long we'll last.
Sitting...standing, holding in both,
you in my arms.
My love. Betrothed.

Happiness
Joy
Love, no despair

I found you, yet I am yours
Hold you close outside locked doors
'our peace' is that, just ours
No better way to pass the hours-
Than by your side, is where I'll stand,

Years Pass
Months Fly
Weeks Fade
Days drag on
Hours Limp
Minutes Slowly slip away
This is my calendar
This is my Life's true span
I can live eternities
Or I can live in painful seconds
