Make A Memory
Written by: James Krolik
Dedicated to Katherine

Let us take a moment for each other.
Let us steal our piece of time.
Let us live in the here and now.
Let us build a memory.

Take a moment and look around:
what you see, what you hear, how you feel.
Never forget.
Never let go.

You give me that look like you always do.
Your eyes shine as bright as ever.
It’s so pleasant to see you smile.

Your hands are still as soft as the day we met.
The caress of your arms around me still empowers me.
Your scent captures me under your spell.
Your lips still so gentle, still so tender.

Under the stars we dance.
Our pulses keep time.

The moon glistens off of the lake.
The twilight aroma is in the air,
I cannot help but stare.
Please, say what’s on your mind.

The enchantment of the night surrounds us.
I reminisce in the passion we’ve shared while
your words echo into my heart.
I love you, too.

Silence
Written by: James Krolik

Why is it I cannot cry,
when life tramples those I’m by?

I cannot grasp onto what I feel.
What just happened?
Can it be real?

I fall to the ground,
melancholy abound,
I scream from within,
yet not a sound.

The frigid mist
blowing through the air,
reminds me of
my lonely despair.

The years of neglect,
have caught up with me.
Why didn’t I care?
Why couldn’t I be there?

My quested redemption,
with coagulated wounds.
I wish I was there more,
I left you marooned.

With foundation departed,
bonds have been made.
I am doing my best,
to fix the pain.

I blame myself,
for the distance paced.
I know life will never be perfect,
I know things time will not erase.

Self-induced rage has consumed my essence.
All I want is to purge its precense.
To destroy the built up guilt.
Killed.

I am here for you, and I promise,
when you need, I’ll always be around.
And, as I think of what life has done to you,
my tears hit the ground…
