Marys whispers

Press before you read.

Salute.



(A lone voice whispers.)


Whenever I pause

In these tranquil quiet 

Moments 


In here


To think about all those 

Long nights 


We once walked by the 

Hawaiian blue sea


I still get drenched by the 

Sweetest thoughts 


Of you and me

Memories of a fierce love 


Which shone high above 

The hot yellow city lights


Of a time we held hands 


And everything seemed to 

Be alright 


But like a pale white 

Vulnerable feather


Blowing in the 

Four Winds


I then always remember how 

You surrendered to temptation


And like an act from the 

Devils favorite playbook


Our love was viciously ripped 

From our cross


To be tragically forgotten 

And by so many others


Casually dismembered 


With no chance of 

Redemption


Now I guess 

We're like 


Two depressing 

Characters from a 

Dystopian play called


Twelfth Night


A rotten 

Shakespearean Play


No one cares about 

Or wants to even 

Remember


But I'll still treasure and 

Carry those memories


Of footsteps walking by the

Hawaiian blue sea


Where I got drenched and 

Soaking wet by the 

Sweetest thoughts 


Of just you and me

Memories of a fierce love

 

Which still shines so high 

Above the hot yellow city 

Lights


Of a time we once held 

Hands 


And the future seemed so 

Bright


Of memories of us entwining  

To make love


To keep warm throughout 

All those cold but soul-thrilling 

December 


Winters nights


For the real treasures in life isn't the material or commercial 

 But simply the spiritual
