The Poets Korner: Remembering To Forget

Remembering To Forget
Woke up this morning
Then I closed my eyes again
I remembered you were gone

I remembered that picture on the night stand was face down
I remembered how I missed you
I forgot how to forget

And before I woke up it was working so well
My uncurious unconscious dictated my feelings
Filing my head with music and happiness up to the ceiling

Where the only thing that mattered was jumping sheep
With pink polka dots
Wearing green hats

Woke up this morning feeling loss
I remembered your favorite song
I remembered how you smiled when I sang it
I forgot how to forget

The most important thing
The one thing I needed to remember I let slip
Sliding out of bed

I slowly started to push you back
Into the depths of my mind
Starting my day, I’ve pushed you out of the way

Here in the waking world I remember how to forget
A smile crosses my lips  

The Poets Korner: For You...

...For You...

Tell me love

The stars above
Do they shine, the same for you?

Are the lights just as bright?

Past oceans blue and wide…

Does the sun, heat your face,

In the same time and place?

As it does mine

And do the hours pass the same

Like visions of you held in vain.

Maybe once near and far

We’ll meet close in a bar

Breathe each other in and out

Make a map of my heart.

And in your arms I will stay

Until the dream fades away

And I wake.

Blinking slow

You and I are a

No

Never was, never will

But this dream felt so real

So I’ll wait every day

Talk to you in this artificial way

Pretend our love will go someplace

And hold you in my heart

So tell me love, does the pain

Feel intense and the same

Oceans far away

As it does

For

Me
