Poem

Love feels like it has gone far away
She used to exist everywhere it seems
Now she hides in fear of being used up or let down

Most now, don’t even remember what she feels like

I remember long ago


Love used to have big bright colors 

lightening bugs would soar through the night sky
with dancing white beams that glowed in the dark 

four leaf clovers would spring from green pines of grass 
but would ever elude being found and plucked 
by those wanting a taste of its Irish good luck

floral beach balls and pink rubber kick balls were the center of summers delight 

camp fire girls adorned navy blue vests and strutted proudly holding red white and blue flags down main street on Memorial Day 

lazy polka dot burnt orange black lady bugs 
would sleep under the sun 
waiting to be scooped up 

each child hoping to find the lady 
with the most dots
to win the game
 
cotton candy colored May Day dances held in the public-school yard always on the hottest and sunniest day of the year 

each student excited about dressing up in colorful garbs from different cultures around the world

Love was innocent then...


Love had the best aromas too
 
tide detergent, vanilla extract 
talcum powder, wonder bread 
sweet potato pie 
hot dogs on toasted rolls at the public pool 
Chanel #5 on Church Sundays 
lots of Chanel #5


Love had the most wonderful sounds
 
the rustle of fall leaves under your feet 
the crunch of plastic sofa covers at grandma’s house
sitting on the porch listening to night crickets on dad’s lap 

Maybe love is actually still here
Waiting for us to love her back
She has not been treated well lately

I hope that she will give us all another chance

And come back soon

Hopefully this time 

She will stay
