Memory Unwound
A Poetry Challenge Poem
Tempest clouds converge above wind whipped seas
As fierce waves thrash rocks and crash against cliffs.
Splashes spray up on an empty lighthouse,
Beacon bright to alert lost mariners.
****
One step backward from the alluring view
Reveals a sales tag dangling from a frame.
Too much exposure to place on home walls,
Left for some other to find and obtain.
****
Not a tear escaped from begged release
To dive into welcoming deep waters.
A farewell glance back before taking leave,
An anchor forever secures a soul.
A ship spared from endless fatal attacks.
Or as sunlight dawns and pierces dark clouds.

I’d return from the grave and do it all over again for playing the violin and writing poetry. Yet there’s always the possibility for worlds to collide and dash bliss, as countless times before.

If You Love Me, You'll Do It
I met Jason when I was five years old. I could say that I loved him from the moment I saw him. He was so handsome to me and I felt in awe by his presence. When they introduced him as the new kid in school, I wanted to be his friend right away. I remember it like it was yesterday. I remember his smile and how he didn't seem shy. He appeared confident and ready to learn. I waved at him and said "hello," before anyone else could even say a word. He sat next to me, and I asked him if he wanted to be friends. He looked so happy as he said, "Yes!"
