About This Poem

We Never said Good Bye

I loved you in spring… 
When the sun kissed the dew upon virgin grass
When robins built their nests high up in tall trees  
And soft rain quenched the thirst of the rich, black earth
Making music with watering cans on the patio floor
That lulled us into slumber on lazy Sunday afternoons

I loved you in summer…
When surf danced atop playful, swelling waves
Its wild and loud roars drowned out carefree laughter
And mimicked our frolicking beneath the blazing sun
Inviting us to share warm nights beneath dazzling stars
Wrapped as one, gazing the moon in the southern sky

I loved you in autumn…
When brisk winds hurried to undress proud elms
When casual walks and a fire signaled the end of day
In love, we never noticed the fading sun light
Then came the day when ‘jealous fate’ interfered
And time swallowed the many years we’ve been apart

Now it’s winter and I love you still…
When frigid weather lingers long and chills the bones
Can lovers’ hearts call through corridors of time?
Perhaps, deepest love dissolves invisible walls?
At last, you’ll find me here, somewhere in between
And who knows, it may be like we never said good bye

    As seasons follow seasons so did life allow you and I to take paths that insured reunion later on. As hearts and souls seek solace after separation so did destiny lead us to those quiet times that brought our love to want to live again. ...... Beautiful Writing, sweet poetess, simply beautiful..... Jake

    Your imagery is magnificent here, Annalise. I could see you enjoying these romantic outcomes in all the seasons. It's interesting how you related autumn as the season when "jealous fate interfered" and he was taken from you. It's a time when many things die. But it's your hope to meet again on the other side that makes this poem so special to me. Excellent, Annalise! Love, Carolyn

    I loved your reminisce and these lines particularly: I loved you in autumn… When brisk winds hurried to undress proud elms When casual walks and a fire signaled the end of day In love, we never noticed the fading sun light Beautiful, Brenda : )
