Kiss A Memory (original)

Kiss a memory from long ago
Taste the lips young as before
Replay the time of a Jubilee
Wanton with drink and 70's play

Remember the troubled girl
A woman and a child
Flush with life and lack of guile
Kiss the memory again and feel
Once again that momentary appeal

Childhood friends
Playing games
Spinning yarns
Laughing at shame

Kiss a memory and see the girl
Fading into an insane whirl
High as the highest peak
No drugs to speak

Kiss a memory and feel
The schizophrenic loss of reality
Reverting to childhood dreams
Swinging and playing in old retreats

Kiss a memory and remember the pain
When the attacker comes to play
Leaving her lifeless and at rest
Amid the child hood toys of her past.
