Topic: ~1000 Words~ (A poem by Charles Keefer) | |
---|---|
One moment captured for the future and viewed in
the present Memories of old and feelings alike...Don't seem so distant So beautiful is she...Even through my blurred vision Thousand words per picture...None can describe what im feeling Cascading tears and blood intertwined amongst shattered glass A shattered past...Broken heart that you cant fix with a cast Walk passed each other...Forced to put on a mask But happy is she...Just like the pictures in view One of us molded like one entity...Kissing after school Another standing by the pool...Lauging,this sound I can still hear Echoing in my ears...Her voice, it's just like I was there Going out for years...But now these lossed moments just result in tears For now i close my eyes and let my sleep render me there A thousand words and moments viewed in one picture A thousand ways i wish i could relive these pictures The old man was standing there, in his hand there was a broom, Lost in a world of memories, as he looked around the room. He sat down in his favorite chair, the one she picked out, It was old and soft and slightly worn, comfortable without a doubt. A tear crept slowly down his cheek, as he opened the photo book, Pictures of youth and love and life, pictures of her that he took. There she was in her wedding gown, was that so many years ago? How beautiful she was back then, how her love did show. He remembered the cheerful laugh she had, he hadn't heard in a while, And the times when she felt down, how he could make her smile. The pictures were memories come to life, it seemed he was back there again, Holding her hand, then hugging her close, trying hard not to grin. His tear fell down on the page, and he wiped it off with his sleeve, Why wasn't he the one to go, instead of having to grieve. Then he recalled something she said, just before she passed away, Remember me with love in your heart, I'll see you again some day. The old man closed the book, he placed it back on the shelf. |
