You can simply lay me there in shade of trees that slowly breeze their umbrage with the ephemeral sun, a caress with tenderness across this fragile frame. You can leave me here, where fragrance of freshly rained grass will wash over us with the warmth you used to bathe and sprinkle subsequently with perfume. You can lay me here and sit, watching clouds move with grace of swans, or ponderous nobility of elephants, blocking the sun with their tenacious bodies. And when you go, you will shed some tears, love in your heart and remembrance of all the words we spoke, or never said, all the arms and legs and raging love. You will remember, you will remember. *** May 6, 2017 Copyright © Darren White

I liked this one alot. It painted a very beautiful image in my head, Sadly the music didn't work for me, but I'm sure it would have made it even more beautiful.

Incredibly beautiful my friend and to pair it up with that hypnotic music was brilliant, another testament to the talent that you posses and share with us, and we are much better for it.

Geez Dee-Dub. It's certainty beautifully composed and full of wonderful imagery. The ponderous nobility of elephants blocking the sun with their tenacious bodies is jaw-dropping. Still, it pains me to see you inspired to such a sad write. I'd imagine you're soon off to bed, but tomorrow shall be a sno-cone sunday full of happy writes whether we want to or not

Deal, PG :) Tomorrow is Happy Sunday. But thank you for liking the poem, and especially the elephants. I agree that it's a sad poem, sometimes I can't help it.
