Ripples of Memories
-by Rubab (North Carolina)

 If i could recall the gone past

 if i could explain it so

 I will put it all in one

 single word, for you my love to show

 how i managed for all these years

 how i survived and grew

 and became the woman you love so well

 and praise in poem and prose.

 I might some day jump in memory lake

 go deep and swim with the flow

 and you, my love, stand on the lake side

 watch me move to and fro

 and when i am soaked and all drenched

 in my hallucinations

 you come close and pull me out

 smile at me sweet and slow.
