the lid is opening

the lid is opening

 

 

 

draw the curtains in fear

love is outside

the window of approval

our hearts in vampire fashion

repel the light of strong feelings

 

what's at stake is love

but the bold cross endeavors

to sever

 

so we wake

to a valid amnesia

 

introducing ourselves

to one another.

I often find an amnesia very welcome. There seem to be more of them as one gets older - er, wherever I am.

Ain't that the truth!
Yes.

"valid amnesia" , i like the idea very much Jacob and might try to suffer from that myself next time the fear presents itself ..

Thank you, Stella...is this poem mine?
I forgot.

[Stella Armour]

forgetting on purpose is quite useful...
