along the creek

within the weeds  
along the creek  
a jewel, i found in you  
a sparkle. your glimmer...how you shined the closer i looked  
your words i took...  
peering over them once again...once, twice, three times, again, i looked  
to make you smile...so hard i tried before..  
i found words from within that i had not known before...  
feelings unknown...so were they? laying in wait...  
how i consumed them as a beast upon the bait...  
is time ever forgotten?....  
or is it just in hiding ...  
or is it abiding...  
tell me how to shine from the weeds below...as you walk....find me deep within the rough...  
touch the power and my glow..  
pick me up...  
harbor me in the comfort of your pocket...  
and when you think time once again is lost...  
stroke the curves....to remember.
