The Voiceless Quill

 From "The Voiceless Quill" now available on Amazon and Barnes and Noble-


Her

May I tell you about her?

Someone will need to remember

My memories are dying quicker than I

May I tell you about her?

Please, before they are gone

She wasn’t supposed to be first

She was to care for me

The first-time I saw her, I loved her

Her hair was the color of the sun

Her eyes as blue as crystals at the bottom of the sea

Her laughter was a symphony composed by angels

Her skin was the silk of gods

Her face...


I can’t remember her face

It hurts in my heart

I don’t want to cry tonight

But if I cry tomorrow

I won’t remember why


May I tell you about her?

When her pain came

She would take my hand, leaning close

Whispering fantasies

I could taste her lips

She kissed away my sorrows

Whispering words of…


I can’t remember


Who is that?

Can you tell me about her?

The one in the photo

Resting upon my nightstand

Do you know her?


Her hair is the eye of heaven

Alabaster skin I long to touch

Her smile is sad

She is beautiful

Please, Will you...tell me about her

Before I’m gone
