Let's Talk about You

After many years

But the person that got trapped in your mind

Is one of the many

I have left behind

I sense the same thing with  you

I sure hope  that you sense it too

Jimi Hendrix was a favourite of mine

So too were Traffic,  Pink Floyd and Deep Purple

And oh yes!!!

How can I forget

I carried Emerson and Keats

In my  pocket 

What about the girl

Who left her lips on a letter

That I cherished as a souvenir

Tucked under my pillow?

What about Lenin and Marx and Engles

And Voltaire and Nietzche and Henry James?

Do I still talk of them

With the  passion that you knew?

Let’s just   skip it

And talk about you
