FEW SOUVENIRS #

Folder: 
JOURNAL # 38

why even the dawn
would not dare now
break thee
for thy is a spear
in the very heart of
the sun
and into the valley
of the night
the battle is taken
and restlessly won
ye with all your
precious draperies
of sentiment and love
this world leaves
'Few Souvenirs' to thee
worth having saved
and kept
so to those tired, distant
disbelieving and wounded eyes
from a pocket of true tenderness
a hanker chief this poetry pulls
to dry those tears you've silently
cried...........
