assurance

Forget-Me-Not trembles as Night leans in
Tilting his head, cupping her chin
Why do you shake when I am near?
You are my truest love, my dear

Oh dear Night, I am not afraid
Just grateful for the visit paid
Lost memory is what I fear
You are my truest love, my dear

Night smiles winking a starry eye
Now, who knows you better than I?
Forget-Me-Not laughs, her joy clear
You. Are my truest love, my dear

    This is really touching - and a beautiful adaptation of the kyrielle form to suit your purposes too.

    This is a very touching piece. I fear losing memory too; I go crazy when the word I'm looking for deserts me. This is beautifully written kyrielle. Wishing you and yours the happiest of Christmases!

    I love the re-assurance of your refrain. This is so tenderly sweet.

i don't like eggs but you knew this already i know you're thinking such a terrible waste but it's not, you see i'm feeding them to the dog she loves them just as much as i know she loved you and the way you walked her as if every single thing she sniffed mattered to you as well sorry, dear pardon my red wine opera crowd violin string tugging (your words) i ramble at breakfast like a fussy percolator but you knew this already morning is when i am most honest and vulnerable i know that's why you left after dinner oh god dammit you i miss you so much what i did before us is a mystery and what i do now is insanity i'm frying up eggs just to smell them again and to perhaps coax you down, from wherever you are for breakfast did you know i believe that there is still a ghost of a chance Rene Foran ~  April 2011 photo by Tess Kincaid for Magpie Tales click for more info
