Tangible recollections

A can of colours, hardly costs as much
As a fine spray of hairs, gently bathed in sunlight
And your shadow.

Nor; can a dozen crystal vases,
Outdo the dazzle of diaphanous dust
Lightly drifting from paint-weary hands.


It is easy to buy memories, they sell them cheap
In stores out of town- manufactured
By machines that groan like abattoirs.

The cracks are remorse- they speak,
Of the ravages of time, an abstract
We all race to posess. Whilst You

And me. Stand in the mocking loneliness
Of a few crates on slate.


Remembering what they once were.



(wk, know its on your note.haha. but you very nice right, hope you don't mind. (:)
