Again / This too shall pass

By Dr Benway

You speak of patience,
the words linger,
hanging just past forever,
not nearly out of reach.

Your eyes,
they taste of pure sugar,
compelling consumption,
cavities not withstanding.

We indulge,
the smoothest skin ,
snow, it melts beneath us,
but never a shiver.

For a single second, I forget,
one kiss to remember.

Now my angel, it's back to the beginning,
where from memory we reset.

patience...

from memory we reset

patience...

from memory,
we are,
REBORN.

    I love this.. it reminds me of pain that no longer affects me the same way it once did. Something learned besides the feeling of sadmadness was like your title, and that is patience.. well done ~669~
