I DIDN’T MEAN TO REMEMBER

I DIDN’T MEAN TO REMEMBER


I didn’t mean to remember…
But they collided- innocents with pain of Age.

I didn’t mean to remember…
all the joy the moments brought me-
Adventure thrilling, meaning seeking, hope holding.
What’s a bleeding heart suppose to do
When the disease it holds is the enemy who keeps it captive.

I didn’t mean to remember…
The sunshine’s rays coursing through the tender touches
Or coffee chocolate swirls and sometimes robbing blue brilliance
Drawing me in deeper until all is engulfed.

I didn’t mean to remember…
The sweet sent of a spring’s rain on my cheeks- my neck
As you breathed in…and out.

I didn’t mean to remember…
The song of melodies endless breath
Of the crescendo of mid-nights echo,
Or the beckoning call of waters plea.

I didn’t mean to remember…
REALLY I DIDN’T
