poetry thursday ~ time

boho, canon digital rebel xt

time with you
was soft and silent
fresh and pure
it forever lives
within me
your touch
your smell
your promise
engraved into my
heart

i still feel your essence
between your words
imagining your letter
is your skin
brushed elegantly
across mine
lying in a bed
i thought you'd rest in

time is hours, days, years
but these memories
are ever present
living still in my mind

(a poem written for a dear friend and her heart)
