As I upon your image trace
Appears a void
within that space
A scent that I remember well
Oh what tales to tell.
That smile.
My heart skips a beat.
As we held hands.
In our bare feet
We skipped along the water’s edge
Footprints in the sand.
Like when in Babylon
Walls came tumbling down
Memories come racing back
Now you in silence sound.
As I upon your image trace
Those eyes still sparkling bright
My fingers tremble as I touch
Your soft sweet scent. caress.

Etty and Moreno

I met a couple years ago
Etty and Moreno
They bore a stamp upon their arm
Placed there by the Gestapo.

Their kindness to me at that time
Generosity and smiles
No signs of animosities
But a sadness in their eyes.

They lived through war’s barbarity
Caged in barbed wire prisons
Deprived of all their dignity
Starved of life’s provisions.

It seems to me to some degree
We’ve lost that memory scar
Time to spread a little love
And remember who we are.
