  • Wayne Cook

    Wayne Cook

    One sip and I must open the tattered cover,
    Caressing the Paper lest it escape with this much loved words
    The letters dripping from the yellowed page,
    Like a picture, across my mind, that I took,
    I would print it, but I have no tools,
    I can’t touch it, lying passive in my brain,
    Soon, it will fade,
    Like the childhood,
    I innocently, betrayed
    Now, I read, I weep,
    The book shakes from my
    Restless sleep
    Where did those letters go?

  • SandraRos replied

    I could not have asked for a bigger and better compliment than this ! Wooow a poem to go with my capture ! Wayne you are such a darling and this means such a lot to me thank you soooooo very, very much !!
