One hit wonder

 


I thought of you today,

from nowhere you came

and entered my mind.

You took over my dreams,

flew in like a phoenix

of love long gone.

Humming a simple song.

A one hit wonder

that took us soaring

to the moon.

 

I thought of you, when I was

looking through past moments

in my memory labyrinth.

I saw a book upon a plinth,

a strange book, with faded ink,

a torn cover and broken spine,

pages falling out,

some passages underlined.

A book of all the times

my heart has said yes

but my brain won't go,

when my heart said yes

and my head said no.

 

Like a picture postcard

sent to my mind,

I'm reminded of that

one lone summertime.

I'm whisked through ages,

different life stages.

To a page that had

barely enough words

before the final lines,

but those words were

a breeze in the summer heat.

They made the days feel complete,

and in those mazy memories I lay,

watching over the distant day.

 

I thought of you today,

a faded memory given clarity.

I remembered laughing endlessly

at the absurdity of the way we would

glance away when our eyes connected

in that special gaze. I remember our walls

crumbling, when the stares of others

didn't seem to matter at all.

 

I remember the kiss, when we finally sat,

admitting our hearts were full,

and I remember the songbirds sung

in harmonies, in tune with nature,

in tune with heartbeats barely begun.

Singing our summertime song.

A one hit wonder to the sun.
