and echo in my mind
as bells chiming
a distant song.
No breeze of warning,
or melody humming,
nothing that is fading,
or even a remembrance
of what might have been.
Mine heart beats madly,
and my mind plays tricks,
with sadness engaging
where a smile once danced
upon those lips.
And kisses.
The soft sweet velvet wine,
dripping from the touch
that only a mouth can provide.
That is the air to breath.
That is the life to take in.
A memory of all that was...
and forgetting just that...
...that might have been.
