and she longs for that one lost summer...

memories dance
withered daisy
tinged white
parched and transparent lies
song she remembers no longer
returns to her dreams
as a sin

her heart hears no tune
it holds no shape she’s once carved
only a secret or two

her eyes remember a journey
back 200 years past
and the skin that kept her warm

she wears winter in her heart
autumn in her eyes
spring in her hair

and she longs for that one lost summer…

    Lived or forgone, all is indeed and unfortunately lost to yesterday if for whatever the heart relinquishes so too still yearns for—yet what can be lost by things experienced or ne’er begot that the heart cannot procure of its own device, henceforth conceived of for that which it had so yearned…

  • mimi yoon replied

    she’s happy today and the memories of rainbow and storm still dance but become fainter and fainter… and her heart yearns no more… :P… thank you for beautifully poetic words, steve… p.s. one sunday, she confessed to her priest her sins… :P
