Words Forgotten

Words Forgotten

This poem was written using excerpts from an ongoing, organic conversation I had with a friend. I did not change much - except for the order and some pronouns. I guess we see life poetically, when we speak with one another. I find it quite beautiful. I hope you do too. The sad, or silly, thing is, if it were not for technology we might not remember the sweet words we have said to each other. So I suppose, for once, I thank my cell phone and my computer for saving my messages.

Think

           About the ocean

                        The undulating waves

                                  It will make your heart smile

You are at the beach

            With the girl

                        She has almond eyes

                                    And an upper lip shaped like cupid's bow

You lie on your bed

            Playing with your toes

                       Watching the fan make shadows

                                   Across the ceiling

I would have enjoyed the daylight with you

            But instead I am excited

                        Excited for our friendship

                                    Maybe it will fulfill me

Our conversation was comforting and warm

            You played with my hair

                        I touched your face

                                 It was wonderful

I have the urge to say I love you

            Even though we are so far from that

                        I have so much love

                                    For you

I thought you loved me

           In our mesh, mushy bubble world

                        Of no memory

                                 You do love me

           

I have so much to say and yet

           I’m speechless

                      Let’s adventure

                                Was this morning even real?
