In Loving Memory



"Just like a fire needs fuel to burn, so too does a memory need a past to exist.  The burning within my heart will only diminish when my memory of her is occupied by the loving presence of another. 

Just like you have to inhabit a reality often found in the dreams that wake you from your sleep.  A dream where the vision is as narrowly understood as the stupor of sudden awakeness.

Within this blur of confusion, clarity is as instant as the epiphany that haunts the memory of a dream."
                                                     
                                                                                            Excerpt from The Book of Curthom


This is one of many entries from The Book of Curthom, which tells the story of waiting for love for over three decades and then once finding it, the consequences of loving with all of your heart and soul.  The Book of Curthom contains love quotes, love letters to the one true love, and speaks of a shy love that was forbidden by society, yet went on to consumate a collection of timeless short love poems that have endeared the loving memory of a time that may never return.
