toes buried in the sand

smiles painted on faces

frame this memory

because you'll never see it again.
Rachel Shussett Jul 2014
Take a picture - it'll last longer
Someday you'll miss these days, my dear
Take a picture - we can frame it
To remember it well when mem'ries are sour
Maybe someday the thoughts will be fonder
Always seem to be when the days last longer
But what do I know

Take a note down - scribble it out
Don't want to forget the words that were said
Take a note down - save it for later
When new lines are harsh - feel like breaking
Use some ink - don't let it fade
If it's done well colors will stay the same
Don't let it go

It hurts to let go - hurts to let go
Don't want to forget because
It hurts to let go - hurts to let go
Please come back
Need you right now - need you right now
Missing you so
Need you right now - need you right now
Come home

Take a picture - it'll last longer
Take a note down - save it for later

Breathing off beat
She woke up half asleep
And knocked a picture off the bed post
He was breathing close
And fell a little less then silent to the floor
If only she had noticed
Not been thinking 'bout the dream
He would maybe breath again
And she would keep their happiness in tact
With or with out the fact of duet heart beats
Lulling her to sleep
She feeds from loving memory
When all is said and done
He kissed their happiness good bye
And lit the morbid candle
On way down falling to the floor
She never kissed the beauty of their love
Just dreamed while rolling over
Keeping track of perfect seconds
But the time to act soon came and passed
Relaxed she knocked the picture on his head.
The poetic format used is playing off of the slots in our memory that we fill with coherency in order to follow to conversation

Show me his picture,
And I'll lie that we're cool.
Show me a lover,
*I'll show you a fool

A picture is worth a thousand words but a word can paint a thousand pictures,
Depending on where you stand with your current emotional mixture,
Is it really so hard to Imagine everything isn't what we see?,
But only a picture in our minds of what we really want it to be?,
Intentions are energy made manifest by the way we carry on our day,
Reality is simply a karmic dance and we choose what music to play,
There's this indescribable beauty hidden in and all around,
What vibrates in our minds and hearts came from the sky and ground,
How small we are with endless space lurking in waiting within,
We really are deep vast oceans with our bodies as layers of ice so thin,
I wish so bad you could come with me I want to take you to the quiet,
But we can only meet there in harmony once you have decided to try it,
Thoughts are like food we can pick and choose which ones to digest,
The complexity of simplicity is clarity when we finally put our minds to rest.
A picture is worth a thousand words:
