A Cage To Hold My Dreams
A Memory Like No Other
When you smile at me across an empty room,
as you did just now, catching my attention
and holding it without effort, I feel good that
I have you to myself, and that no-one else's life
will be charmed tonight by those beautiful eyes.
oooOOOooo
I know that the time must come, a day not
unlike today perhaps, with branches waving in
the angry winds and the darkness arriving
uninvited, when you will step away from me,
into a better life than I could ever give you.
oooOOOooo
For some time afterwards, the weight on
my soul shall be heavier than the pyramids,
but when these feelings pass, I shall remember
you as you are tonight, beautiful and joyful
and caring, and that memory will be like
no other.
