Worth Memory
Sky blue, so blue your head aches
You next to me
so next to me
my mind aches
Your elbow lightly against mine on the center console
So against mine
my skin hurts
with wanting
Sun shining at an angle on your face,
your eyes changing color to a warm, honey-brown
So rich my teeth hurt
at the sweetness
You smiling,
the outline of your teeth against the glass of the window
So perfectly sharp,
my neck tingles at the thought of them
resting there.
Some moments are more worth remembering than others, although our entire life deserves our attention, should we seek betterment of self and others. This particular piece was written in response to a car ride with the muse. I can still feel the tension in the air and see the lines of sunlight dappling their face.
What memories do you have? Write them. Share them. Make peace with them.
