Medley of Memories

The disparity between

"He will do it," and

"He has done it,"

is time.

Time does not exist.

But action does.

You do not exist.

But he does.

Get out of the way.

And then,

"He has done it."

Medley of Memories

Beneath the silent, stellar stars

I gazed up from behind steel bars

Trapped in the cage that I created

Released by the key that you baited

My first kiss, your love was new

Before and since, you've been so true

My eyes have brimmed with blue-green tears

and your countenance erased those woeful years

I've clambered through thick, sticky vines

tangled my arms, cursed, and whined

You chuckled and tugged on just one thread

and the jungle fell beneath us, dead

I throw my arms around your shoulders

Forget all else and become much bolder

Solid trust provides me a song

and you love me back, which makes me strong

Gentle advice you whisper near

Proves you're wise and defeats all fear

My knees are weak, my forehead's sweaty

my stomach flutters, but my eyes are steady.
