White pages
stained and blemished
Once ******
now yellowed with age
Passionate words
blurred and faded
by tears
long since dried
Thin lines
holding memories
of kisses, soft touches
and pleading eyes
Paper treasures
Printed gems
Buried
by a sea of years
No one knows
why they are kept
locked away
in a cherished nook
Until they are held
by trembling hands
on lonely nights
when old hearts ache
