Memories or Illusions

They come like a whisper in the night

Appearng through an open door in one's mind

Sometimes...just beyond reach and  fleeting from sight

Wafting visions growing in speed before they can be caught

Coming in layers and receding in shadows of thought

Always evading and escaping like a prisoner in the dark

Illuding like UN-expressed passions and disappearing dreams

Illusions? Lost in thought! or thoughts just lost?

Illusions like memories come and they go...

Annabelle, sweet Annabelle, 

I wonder do you still remember me?

Just a glance and subtle smile, we never acted on

but there was something I can't explain, that carries on your memory 

And I wonder...do you still remember me?

So many years, so many miles, have come and long since gone

But your smile never leaves my mind and tarries for oh so long

And I wonder...do you still remember me?

What it was I'm not quite sure, but it never seems to stray

A lingering glance, a breathy sigh and then wonder why

I never tried, to steal your heart away

And I wonder...do you still remember me...?
