The year was 1977.  Elvis died and people cried.
I was in India.
Can you tell?


Kiss away the sweet melody of youth
in a passion so extreme it crushes the moment in its passing
leaving you cold in the memory and shivering in the  beauty of a unique but ended day



SOMETIMES THE AIR THAT YOU
BREATHE JUST ISN'T ENOUGH

Gasping for a vision of sunlight through squinted lashes...
diamonds and bright... loving
and warm
and
youth
So brightly
shining that
life turning
grey in its
passing
pales before
it's frenzied
light
