Time Rollback

Between whom there is hearty truth there is love. - Thoreau

wake my sleeping memories on a rumpled pillow next to you

send me off with your kiss starched and pressed upon my lips

splash me with your delicious, lubricious fragrance

your vulnerable, comforting warmth safe and reassuring

endearing and enduring

i feel your arms wrapped around me

even when we're apart

our love hanging in a museum like a fine work of art

filling an overflowing shopping cart

forever rolling back time in the depths of my heart

like that riant, smiley face at wal mart

Author's Note

"I love you not as something private and personal, which is my own, but as something universal and worthy of love which I have found." - Thoreau
