Our Memories, Our Atmosphere
I can't decide whether I'm an "adequate" poet or not. Eh, here it is:
----
Forgive me if I cannot see
My eyes are lost within my sleep
A dream laid out in front of me
A picture gone so suddenly
It appears I cannot breathe
This sensation smothers me
A tragedy, a quantum leap
From life to love a fall so deep
This pressure will exhilarate
Asphyxiate, intoxicate
Our memories we reinstate
The only things the heat can't take
Take a measure of our days
And hope the memories will stay
A ticking heart bleeds time away
Beating out this Summers day
Forgive me if I cannot see
The sun's light overpowers me
From blindness comes a prophecy:
A love affair, an urgency
A tragedy, a quantum leap
To the sky a climb so steep
Up there our memories we keep
We find the persistance these moments seek
And because they are so far away
Unlike day they cannot fade
At night we see the stars so bright
Our memories turned into light
Forgive me if I cannot hear
Lost in sleep it would appear
Dreaming memories so clear
Suspended in our atmosphere.
