The Pearl Within My Oyster

He was nine

She was ten

They held hands

Way back then

Times did come

And times did pass

And now once again

In your sleep

I hold your hand

As in our childhood past

Our love has crossed

Many lives

Many waves on foreign shores

My wave would break

Your wave behind

You followed me

And broke upon

My shore

Two waves crashed

Lost in the sands of time

An hourglass

And both our waves

Tore us asunder

The roaring of the seas

As I stood upon the shore

Those foamy waves

Our cry of love

From oceans deep

My wave receded

Back into the depths

Of my past

You followed my heart

Two waves on Alien shores

I was nine

And you were ten

Remember when

We held hands back then

An aged mind

Reanimates ghosts

Ghosts from my past

Crushing waves

Crushing lips

Do I love you?

Yes and always will

You have no name

But still our love is real

Your gentle touch

Your lips on mine

Your beauty stirs my mind

Memories of other times

Other lives

Naive and beautiful

You were mine

You were ten

And I was nine

I was the diver

From above

You the tiny mermaid

From the deep

I dived the oceans depths

For you my childhood dream

I dived for treasures

That made you weep

And now on sands

Of alien shores

A boy of nine

A diver from the deep

Places a circle of pearls

Around the neck

Of a girl so sweet

A girl of ten

When I was nine

For you are my memories

My memory of a young boys love

The world is yours

I am the oyster

You are the pearl

You are mine

In a little boys memory

An old man’s mind
