Old Memories

Old memories,
Spread out on the floor.
Just some photographs,
Yet so much more.

Friends and family,
Other relatives too.
Aunties, Uncles, Cousins,
My Granny's new hairdo.

I can't make them stay,
I can't make them go.
All the bad photos,
All the fun times in the snow.

Holidays in Spain,
Holidays in Wales,
My dog and my friends dog,
Both wagging their tails.

Old pieces of paper,
Some of them new,
Most in photo-albums or frames,
Some I need to rescue.

Old memories,
Spread out on the floor,
Just some photographs,
Yet so much more.

The Sound

I'm sitting here by the kitchen table typing words to the sound of a TV from another room. In front of the TV is the woman I love, laying, half asleep.

Jack's Song: Personal Effects.

One silver watch for the time you could'nt keep. With a battered face and an alarm that never beeps. One dusty notebook full of blank pages. I've filled them now, it took me ages.
