Today’s 365 “Mementos”

Not the cold air
Or the dark night
Could keep you from
My warm loving sight
Knowing you were close
And within my reach
Even if I froze
A kiss I’d beseech
I refused to wait
A single second longer
To see without debate
Who makes me stronger
My lips firmly pressed
Against your sweet neck
Love none can best
Both a fixed wreak
I hold your memento
Close to my chest
My heart’s frantic tempo
Beats without a rest

“Love’s mementos” by Reverent Sound

Today’s 365 “The Garden”

“Beneath the creeping shadow of the tower
The bell from St. Edmunds informs me of the hour
I turn to find you waiting there for me
In sunlight and I see the way that you breathe
Alive and leaning on the gates of the garden…”

“Gates to the Garden” – Nick Cave and the Bad Seeds
