By Joseph Childress I remember when… I remember, I remember When I lost my mind…. There was so pleasant about your face I let all my emotions go, And gave you space…. When you were out there, without care I was out of touch, Not because I didn’t know enough Jaz, I just knew too much. But does it make me Crazy!!?!! If not, Deny it in front of the doctors Who document the details Of my insanity. Granted that your vanity Is understood I forgot my understanding Beauty is in the eyes of all That behold you How could I forget? I forged the signature smile You talk so often about So you’d be happy for me But how? So selflessly you loved my selfishness needs…. Now We, Becomes a testament of what Once was Once upon a time A princess met A soon to be king Whose arrogant rant’s Arose at the time he forgot His ring Now you and I Are forced To separate like divorce Devoid Of the love That once filled that empty void Whose to know Of what’s to come? Maybe In may we can spring from these Cold feelings And blossom like a Jasmine And turn has-beens Into have-nows And complete the vows We started under covers Like our first words We said to each other Diamonds are forever But If I die with out your three letters Let this Letter Be the last “I do” is all I ever want from you And all I have in return Is “I do too.”
