Stones of Remembrance

The stories in the scriptures

Where he or she or they

Gathered rocks to build monuments of remembrance

To mark a moment in time

The notable

The painful

The important

The beautiful

Have made their way into my head.

And I know

That if I were to build my own rocks for you

They would be like

The Great Fucking Pyramid of Giza

Figuratively

On par with the Mona Lisa

Mount Everest sized

Too high for eyes.

 

You were my prize and I yours

Outstanding among ten thousands

Light of my life

Knife of my heart

 

Maybe I will miss you forever.
