Love Poem: Decoupage

Decoupage

These days life is like a rock skipping across a pond.
Thrown by a lover who hopes somehow to entertain.
    I remember her loving ways; sweeter than any name could ever describe;
    And she was a keeper too soon lost; but always remembered.
And I want so much; to see that me;
That once reflected in her eyes

    As I look into nights illuminations;
    It seems that here, lost dreams must live
And time eventually became the enemy of love.
And yet in a secret place of my mind are memories;
    Memories of yesterday’s that were once my new tomorrows.
    Now lost and laying about in a field of broken dreams

  And I loved her; but all those years of subterfuge;
  So often called my lessons in life;
Are embedded into my heart as a constant reminder;
Of yet another chapter in my noted chronicles of regrets.
  Always regretting what was left behind;
  Never learning to be still; I am pasted pieces.
