When you come


This is not a sad poem. 
Its a poem filled with secrets, mysteries, borrowed love and soft memories of one stolen night  . . . . .

“Take one fresh and tender kiss
Add one stolen night of bliss
One girl, one boy, some grief,
some joy Memories are made of this.”


Johnny Cash



        
When you come to me, unbidden,
Beckoning me
To long-ago rooms,
Where memories lie.

Offering me, as to a child, an attic,
Gatherings of days too few.
Baubles of stolen kisses.
Trinkets of borrowed loves.
Trunks of secret words,

I CRY.
Maya Angelou
