Thief

Author: Spartacus2012

I can recall
the hours and days
you stole time from me

You said forget the past
with kisses that erased my memory
you becoming my future

In the park
where the ground
was dressed in fallen hues

Fashioning a blanket
out of the calico leaves
to give their death purpose

Then in September
in time for the harvest
we became thieves

You stole my heart
much like bees
steal honey from flowers

Just before a lover
plucks them from the ground...

First class writing, and then some.

Thanks ken, please do. My friend, life is too short and the more joy we feel on this borrowed time of ours, the better it is for everyone. This is one place I do feel joy and provide refuge to m weary soul.

Love you all..

Phyllis
