Recollections

by Yaya

Sometimes, I wonder how you
recollect me in your stories
a valuable lesson?
as a fond memory perhaps?
a flower garden in your journey of life?
something that causes your beautiful soul to smile?
sometimes, however, I wonder
if you think about me at all

Happy 50th Anniversary

I know a boy
He’s now a man
But I’m still a girl
I loved him with the completeness and purity of youth
I surrendered everything
He took it all
Then heaved my lovesick-heavy heart to the ground
And as it lay in ruin, he stepped on it as he walked away
Over the years he would collect my tortured heart
Dust it off but then cast it aside; it was just a passing thought
He put the other treasures I gave hi in his dark, deep pocket
Like a serial killer saves trophies from their victims
