Saved Letters
Yellowing pages
Crinkled edges
A lost love poured into paper
I hear your voice choking
When I read
For the thousandth time
Every broken word scrawled
In your Declaration worthy cursive
I kept them all
I never forgot
And still your kiss haunts me
At night when I take my slumber
Crinkled edges
A lost love poured into paper
I hear your voice choking
When I read
For the thousandth time
Every broken word scrawled
In your Declaration worthy cursive
I kept them all
I never forgot
And still your kiss haunts me
At night when I take my slumber

The brevity of this piece is an effective focusing lens on these old love letters and the adroit metaphor they hold for love lost, hope and possibility lost. 🙏
