#memories

Memories are many, my heart is full
Of gladness for the love I found in you
Love that we manifested and forged true.
You are my anthem, upright and faithful.
Our love is envied by watchful lovers
And mysterious to all except us.
We steadfast run the course of love and thus
You are the sweetness that this life offered
But if the veil of death covers me first
And the air of separation grows cold
Go and seek love again, as I've foretold.
Lest remembrance cause you an aching heart

My life is defined 
by film...
From the magical worlds 
of childhood--
Willy Wonka,
Chitty Chitty Bang Bang,
Darby O' Gill--
to Hong Kong film
and Reservoir Dogs...

First drive into the city 
was to see Star Wars--
before it had a number--
with two friends long since
gone ahead...

First date in High School
was to see The Exorcist--
and laugh our heads off...

The films that called me 
dozens of times--
Rocky Horror,
Ladyhawke;
The Crow
