Beauty's black spot

So busy was I arranging my joy
Into bouquets of memories 
Those red kisses overlayed 
With white sprays of hope
Star spangled afternoons
Entwined in arms, legs, hair
Breaths, blankets, bites and all
So busy that I forgot to
draw a black dot on 
Your treasured face to 
ward time's inevitable eye.
And so beauty is fated to die,
But what burns was once alive.
