remember me remember when

Waves wash away
simple stones
carved in the colors of love.
smiles mingle with remembered kisses
in the abyss
deep within a moment of hasty decision
where time melted
and i lost you.
sunshine rays, hot and burning
replaced by cold drizzle
experience a voice
thick by echo, calling out for. . .
a forgotten place i loved.
change killed
timeless kodak moments.
i cried when soft lyrics pierced my ears.
seductive stares silenced forever
by boundaries of hopless plights.
torn by present, past pursues;
weak stumble upon "what if's"
and i discover a resting place.
pillows of ecstasy tease the senses
where reality is false and imagination, truth.
here i lie; here i die; present passing by.
