Refusal

Forevermore I’ll still desire you, Despite that never shall you speak my name, I’ll always love the silly things you do, And think of how delightful life can be. When first I kissed you underneath our tree, Where now a forest grows of guilty shame, My heart discovered pure serenity, And thus refuses ever split in two. 10/31/2016 A/B/A/C/C/B/C/A

Underneath the tree now is a bench, where you can sit, serene, with a whole heart.

I feel a sadness in this, the forest, now overgrown, hides what was shared, though it will never be forgotten as is the love the poet feels.

I'm laughing at Daniel's comment. I want to know what went on under the old Oak tree first. Guilty shame is always savored in the moment, then in retrospect you get this type of poetry. :)

"Well the first thing you know Ol Jed's a millionaire,. The kin folks said, Jed move away for there. They said, Californie is the place you ought to be, So he loaded up the truck and he moved to Beverly, Hills that is swimming pools and movie stars.
