REMNANTS:


Remnants of you wallow in dust & quietly linger,

Passing by what´s left of you, I softly touch & finger,

Bringing memories of you, to my wet unsteady eyes,

 I feel you watching me, from above in heavenly skies.

 

Your coat with a hole in the pocket, I´d forgotten to sew,

Your old scuffed boots, left drying upon sill of my window,

Your glasses upon that book, that you promised to finish,

Your cologne upon my pillow, that time doesn´t diminish.

 

Strands of your silver hair still left in tortoise shell comb,

Your voice echoing through my mind & rooms of our home,

Your old briar pipe in the ashtray & your slippers by the bed,

All that is left, remnants of you, now wafting through my head.
