Unwrapping the memories
Languid days tied with a satin ribbon
I open the window to my soul
dust the cobwebs off
unlocking fragile memories,
forgotten fragrances
Of you…
Wrapped in scented tissue
pink as the first blush of love
here lies my memory
of the day when I saw you first
Wrapped in multi-coloured scarf
are the rainbow dreams I dared to dream
When I pursued you relentlessly
Knowing I had no chance
to be the crème de la creme
Here is the green kerchief soaked in
Tears of jealousy
containing my envy
when I saw you with other girls
all sows, I thought, around my pearl
This white envelope
dotted with drops of red
my bleeding heart’s tears
when i did not see you for years
And wrapped in cellophane
here is the scrapbook
where I squirreled away
nuggets of information,
About you.
Bubble wrapped carefully,
these are my galloping heartbeats
when I saw you next
Tied with a silver ribbon
what are these?
of course, treasured memory
Of our friendship
Passion I wrapped in this satin box
the hugs and kisses
you had showered non-stop
Oh,and this golden packet
most priceless of all
I wrapped all your love
lest I forgo it all
This crimson bottle holds
my red hot rage,when
of your lies, I took umbrage
At the bottom of this all
lies a big black pack
in it are stacked the bleached bones of
Our love
This latest pack
wrapped in all white
marks our mutual exoneration
Am keeping the diamond wrapped vase
enclosing our love,
on display
‘cos my heart is sure
faith will never lead us astray.
