Long Lost Cache

The sun shines pale on this place I knew so well

Tinged with grey, this cold winter’s day

Bizarre flashes of long lost caches

My history throws our her welcoming arms 

Wrapping around me, we are together again.

The swirling sea beside me

Whispers my name

She saw through her promises

To wish me away

I listened and I followed

I was so desperate to leave

Now I don’t remember why 

.

All I remember are long hot summers

Days that last forever

Playing in the sunshine,

Friendships and love

Daisy chains and laughs.

The soundtrack danced on loose knit groove

Fool’s Gold, Twisted Melons, Vapour Trails and house.

Wonderwall that new years eve,

Every party we found.

Songs that bound us 

Songs that found us

Songs that hold

The songs that still last

So many mornings

Dancing on the grass

Hugging and smiling

Chilled out we laughed.

Those days in fields at dawn though.

They are slipping out of reach

The beauty of that tune at dawn

The Sun Rising, Born Slippy, Trip to the Moon.

I can’t remember which. 

My history hugs me gently and tight

I smile as I search my locked up cache

Do I miss the time or the place?

So far away from each, but

The people don’t change 

Although the memories might
