Whispers of Memories
Last Night
I saw you last night
at the boat house
by the sandy bay
Moonlight touched
our faces,
while we lay underneath
countless stars,
holding hands
we talked about our dream of moving away,
and starting a life together
we ended up laughing at how
you borrowed your brother’s car
to come see me
and crashed into your mum’s garden shed instead
we were young and fearless
this was where I longed to stay
For a moment,
we both went quiet,
Heard waves crash into the shore
All of a sudden,
we saw a bright light
across the sky,
it was a shooting star
and you pointed it out with excitement,
like watching a painted canvas
at night
it was a magical moment
to share with you
felt like it was just us and the universe
this dream can only mean so much more
Into the night
I lay on your chest,
to hear your heartbeat
was like whispers in the night
as the sun starts to rise
you hold me closer
and gave me a kiss,
if only you could stay
I saw you again, last night
at the boat house
by the sandy bay
Nana’s House
One cold night,
In my favourite red pyjamas
and in my yellow socks
Drinking a hot cuppa
While sitting by the fireplace
And listening to my Nana’s stories
She would tell bedtime stories,
my favourite one,
is the tale about the two twins
who went to live in the sky amongst the stars
“You can still see them,” my nana said
they appear as the Southern Cross
and the Magellanic Clouds
It gets warmer
When the flowers start to bloom
I sneak into my Nana’s room
Where the sun rises
and she greets me with her warm smile
In the summertime,
Hot and sunny days
At Nana’s house, she has a BBQ
we play tag with my cousins
while we wait for the food
afterwards, we end up driving to Mission Bay beach,
as it gets dark,
my Nana will always have to give us treats
to get us out of the water to head back home
A lot has changed at Nana’s house
the paint worn out
furniture’s been replaced
but her jewellery box is still there
her clothes and shoes,
and her photos
A beautiful lady she is,
with short brown hair
and her fair skin
She loves to dress up for an occasion,
and she always know what to say at the right time,
she's a classy lady of her own
and a woman of her time
I sit by the fireplace,
remember the tale of the two twins
Nana told me about
When I spot them at night
It reminds me of my Nana
Oh, how I miss her
