      MY BELOVED ANGEL, I am nearly mad about you, as much as one can be mad: I cannot bring together two ideas that you do not interpose yourself between them. I can no longer think of nothing but you. In spite of myself, my imagination carries me to you.

      Like Glass - Ejiro O. Osime

      At first sight

      A thousand hopes

      all hidden

      within a thousand dreams.

      I see them in your smile

      and wish they would

      come unhinged

      and float unbidden

      into my reality.

      Where does the past go?

      Where does the past go?

      Is there a museum

      somewhere

      that stores up all of our anguish

      and holds all our joys?

      When time flies off

      does it go

      somewhere in particular

      or does it simply fall

      into a deep dark hole

      of non-existence?

      Do all that we worry

      and our many moments of fear

      become paintings

      on times wall

      hanging in some unreachable hall?

      When love fades from hearts

      does it simply melt away

      or does it solidify

      into sculptures of marble and gold

      another treasure

      to go un-treasured.

      What happens to heartache and joy

      Love,

      Anger and guilt

      after that moment

      when we feel them deepest?

      Are they simply gone

      or are they out there

      somewhere

      lying in wait.

      Do they turn into something beautiful

      stored up?

      Displayed?

      or locked away?

      Where does the past go?

      Remember Me

      Remember me as loving

      remember me as nice.

      Remember me as cunning

      remember all my virtues as farce.

      If tonight I go to
