Time capsule

Charles Fields II 1955 (Fort Bragg, NC)



Frozen in the teardrops…

Time capsules
forming in my eyes

As my emotions

flowing,
become crystallized

in the memories,

these moments
pictures
of what my heart is going thru
begin to materialize…

Teardrops
merge and pool together

in a river,

Drift
from a raging stream…

over,
into a waterfall…

As I fall helplessly
into a dream…


in freefall
i give you my heart

till i have nothing left to give,

as continuous
as my love for you is,

i have become lost
and i

put this message in a bottle
cast into the sea,

praying that you


will find it in your heart
to answer me

if only in our dreams

And set my soul at ease…

As the time capsule

Of

our love
