We all carry secrets
and precious memories
tucked in the corners
of our hearts and minds
secrets are all closely
guarded whisperings
we don’t want anyone
else to find....
unless it is secret love
that we are eager to reveal
to someone that we cherish
just to find how they feel
and hoping they will
share our passions
and offer kisses we can steal
kisses we can steal...
and there are dark
secrets buried there
in the landfill of our sorrows
things we never
want to be exposed
whether yesterday, today, or tomorrow,
It’s a lifetime of the
things we’ve done
that can haunt us,
incidents we shun
deep in the night
or when days begun
and you've got
nowhere else to run
but memories are precious gold
they take us back in time
to moments that were so sublime
granting us ways that we can climb
out of current depressions
that leave us blue..oooo
cause all we really have to do
is close our eyes
and wander through
our favorite trips
and loves we knew
it’s all so vivid when it’s replayed
like a movie in your mind displayed
it keeps us sane in so many ways
right up until our dying days…
That girl next door,
first love’s attempts
like fine wine, memories ferment
and leave one drunken with the joy
of all they shared as a young boy
that guy she knew
in high school who
shared her first kiss
a dream come true
they are there
waiting there for you
in your heart and
mind to be renewed
bringing long lost
comfort’s sweet refuge
so keep your secrets from the world
unless they’re loves
for a boy or girl
and savor your memories
each time they rise
in every one your souls baptized
leaving you refreshed memories supply
so many ways for you to laugh and cry
over long lost moments crystallized
each day brings you a new supply
all neatly filed to mesmerize
your memories are life’s finest prize.
Life's finest prize......
