Keep the memories
Keep the memories,
They don’t come up
very often these days -
Not because there
is no petrichor
Nor paler is the sunset blaze
Just that, the pages in our daily diaries
Have all become
too full,
Perhaps a scribble
here, a squiggle there,
But then, who do
we try to fool?
How about then,
cleaning the dust
Off the musty
notebooks few?
Stored in a
shadowy corner;
There keep the
memories, can you?
I know you’ll find
a dogeared page
Left blank, a long
time back
Bookmarked in days
when you were white
And I was dreamy
black
Could you see the
emptiness then
Though starry was
the Milky Way?
Did you know we’ll
see the sunlight pour
In the midnight of
a wintry day?
When I would ask
to ink and store
A shard of memory
light,
And you would
smile, for none would have
A pen with which
to write…
